It's a little sparrow. It has feathers, but isn't flying or eating on its own yet.

It had fallen out of its nest at my son's school. While the kids were waiting for the bus this afternoon, my son saw some other kids chasing the bird, trying to kick it and step on it.

So, my son told them to stop it, caught the bird, and carried all the way home on the bus.

It's eating good and doesn't seem to be hurt. Hopefully in a week or so it will be ready to go free.

I seem to have developed the reputation as the "bird lady". Every year people bring me all kinds of baby birds to raise ... I've raised pigeons, sparrows, mourning doves, starlings, grackles, and robins.
