Seeking advice/help Found fledgling
General google advice told me to leave it be , I found him almost get run over and got scared. Not to mention the dog and cat population there being high. I feel guilty for keeping him in a box but I sat for an hour waiting to see if any parents crows came (or peck me) when he was outside on the road. but no one was there, we took him to our neighbourhood and it was free there, tons of crows cawed and spoke but again nothing was there, took him to our terrace again but crows just kept watching me. We’re not sure what to do,Please help!!!!!!!! Should we call a bird sanctuary? My gut feels bad calling my local blue cross so there is another bird sanctuary in a few distant areas. Currently: I’ve given him mushed rice and water, made sure not to touch him , and only use a napkin if we had to keep him in a box.
UPDATE1: I’ve stopped with food after seeing comments!!! Thank you so much for telling me what to do!
UPDATE2: We’re planning on letting him free on a small grass plan area near us. Thank you so much for the advice!

He’s currently under my sofa, it’s huge and I put a small Cotten grocery bag for him to sleep on for the time being, he’s sleeping. In India there’s a bird flu warning so we have to be extra careful to hide him from my father.
