Another road rescue
This time it's a baby bird. I found it lying in the curb (actually, my dog found it). I turned around because I'd walked right past it, and then I nearly ended up dragging Heidi (aforementioned dog) right out of her collar. I didn't know what the hell it was at first (you know how freaky baby birds look) but then I walked closer and leaned down and that thing opened its mouth and stretched its neck up and I was like "AAAAUUGHH!" Then I realized it was a bird and I was good.

I don't know how long it was out there baking in the sun, but I got a small cardboard box and constructed a rudimentary nest. Couldn't find any worms in the ground so I fed it some dogfood. I don't think anything's broken and it seems to be doing fine. Then again, the odds of baby birds surviving without their parents is pretty slim. I'll do my best. I don't know if it's a blue jay or a mockingbird. Maybe neither. It's too early to tell.

you know... when I read the part about the bird lifting its head with the mouth wide open... I pictured you in classic anime mode rearing back and falling over. XD gl with the bird, you can buy some fishing crawlers from the store but you'll have to grind them up before you feed him them.
