He didn't say it was a baby. For all we know it could be a full grown bird. Also, not all birds live in flocks.

Also, birds abandoning their babies after a human has touched it is a myth.

Yeah, it's complete BS. I once found a baby robin that had fallen out of its nest in a storm, and after having nursed it through the night I put it outside the next morning. It started to chirp and within five seconds, its mother found it. I must have touched that bird 1000 times in the process of caring for it.

We're just told that little fib by our parents so we don't catch any potential diseases that the bird may be carrying.

17 birds don't do that, only animals I know of that do are cats and dogs depending of the mother's personality.

Birds have no sense of smell, it's something our parents told us so we didnt bring any new lets home

You are joking, right? Broken wings are very common in birds, and they heal quickly and usually seamlessly. There is no need to kill this bird.

If only the world was so perfect. I once knew a parakeet with a wing that was either broken or had a tumor. The vet didn't even want to bother searching it out because she said there wasn't anything that could be done. She told me they usually don't do anything for smaller birds, but maybe she was just a bad vet..

It would be ironic if OP had just cleaned the glass with Windex.

It would also be ironic if OP tried to help fix the broken wing but broke the other one by accident. Wait a second...

Exactly, a bird that hops and walks in poorly judged oval shapes is much less socially awkward...

@55 ^^ That was just full of win!
