We live in the Rouge National Urban Park in Markham, Ontario, Canada. We have a great variety of birds visiting us & recently realized we have a pair of Baltimore Orioles! They built a nest near our hummingbird feeder & one of the babies fell out of the nest on the ground. It's quite big but still has a very little bit of fuzz on its head so not too old. I actually came to this site for some info. Do we leave it, will the mum look after it if it's on the ground, should we put it back in the nest...? The mum is definitely flying around and keeping an eye on it. Onward with my investigation before nightfall. We want to make sure the baby is safe if we can.
