...what should I do?
Looks kinda like a crow or something, but he's obviously weak. Runs around (not with the perfect footing placement I've seen in all birds), makes a bird call every few moments, and flies short distances. Some tail feathers seem to be missing and I think feathers on its head are, too. I got within grabbing distance of the thing without any resistance.
What should I do?
EDIT: It got away into someone else's lawn after a chase...I guess the question still stands though: what should you do if you find a bird in need of help in the wild?
