Of the feathered kind.

My cat (who has a bloody big bell on her collar) has not long got hold of a blackbird chick, it's unharmed and sitting in some long grass, parents are about but haven't noticed their baby

Should I just leave it? Wouldn't want to think that the poor little thing won't be reunited with its mum and dad

I rescued two baby birds one time. They hardly had any feathers on them. One died. The other I nursed until he was able to fly

Don't handle them. They can die of shock. Human scent can also put the parents off them.

If they are still there in an hour and you can find the nest, and reach it, replace them but wear gloves.

And, as above, kill the cat. I mean, keep the cat in.

I handled the bird the time, put it under a lamp and fed it cat food

If it can't yet fly, sadly it'll never get back to the nest anyway without some kind of human intervention, but there is then the risk of the parents rejecting it.

My cat did the same last year. I managed to save one out of three chicks but sadly it died after a few days which was terribly sad because it loved being in my pocket and up my sleeve.

This is false. Google it xxx

The advice on cat websites is to put the baby back in its nest if you know where the nest is. If not just leave it where it is n the parents once they feel safe will find it. Xxx

The parents birds are around, think the nest is next door, so put the bird in their garden, cat is now under house arrest for a few days.

Thanks for the advice
