What Kind of Bird Is This? What Is It Called?

I found this bird in my compound this morning. It was sitting on the ground without moving. When I tried to get closer, it only jumped forward instead of flying. I suspect it might be sick or injured. I lifted it onto this bucket cover to see if it would fly, but it just stayed there, staring at me.

Do you perhaps know what this bird is called and how to care for it until it can fly away? It is a very beautiful bird, and I would be hurt to see anything bad happen to it. Please suggest how you think it can be cared for until it is strong enough to fly away.

The only way to care for this lovely bird is to look it directly in the eyes while boiling hot water then dip it inside the boiled water and pluck out its feathers.

The decision on whether to use effirin or water leaf to make its peppersoup, I leave to you.

Boil it with hot water first then add a little salt with Maggi collect geinded pepper 🌶 50 naira the taste of it will tell you the name

Looks like a crow

That's a swallow! It's a fast flying bird. It's a member of the African swift family.

Wait

That's a sparrow chick not capable of flying yet, check around your building, below the roof level for any clay mould on the wall or crevice, the nest it fell from is definitely within the parameter of where you found it

Check around your building, especially below the roof level for this object in the picture, that's the nest

Okay

Okay, thanks. How can it be cared for? Like, what do they eat?

There is absolutely nothing like that around. It's still outside the building where I prepared for it. It appeared cold, so I kept it in a warm corner outside. I have put some crumbs of fruit, semo powder, water, and milk in a bottle cap there, but I checked this morning and it didn't seem to have eaten anything yet. It still can't fly.

Right now, I don't know what else to do with it, and I would hate to see it die.

Please, mods, can you give this post more attention for contributions or suggestions on how to take care of this bird until it is strong enough to fly away?

I'm not entirely sure...

Maybe get a carton, some old clothes as packing.

I think they eat bugs. Not entirely sure either.

But you could surf the Internet for more info.

It's a chick and can neither fly nor feed on its own at the moment, it needs the assistance of the parents to feed it or since it had wondered away from home, the best bet is to hand feed it, but none of the edibles you provided is good for the little guy, it mainly feed on insect, as for the grain, that might come in when it is a little older but for the now, if you can get grasshoppers, cricket and the likes, just present it towards the beak and it will open its mouth in readiness to accept it, accompany that with water by dipping your finger into water and dropping it on the beak, it will immediately suck it up.
If it fails to open it's mouth when presented with the treats, it simply means that the little guy is SICK.
Good luck!

It is called twitter, nw its called X

It came to you for help.

Unfortunately, I couldn't help it. The bird passed away. I woke up this morning and quickly went to check on it, only to find it dead.

I prepared a place for it because I noticed it was cold and put all kinds of things I could think of for it to eat, but it wasn't eating.

I was even contemplating contacting a vet. I feel terribly bad that I couldn't save its life.

It’s the intention that counts. Thanks for trying your best.
