OP, I'd hate to tell you this, but the baby bird is going to die.
It's virtually impossible to foster wild baby birds. I've come across 4 in my time as an adult, and as a vet technician, I was capable of giving them the best attention, but still all of them died. There is that slim chance it might survive, but don't grow too attached to it. You'll most likely, (percentage being around 90) come across 2 outcomes-
1.It will die of exhaustion/improper feeding. 2.It will suffer a heart attack or die slowly from it's wounds, if by chance it was attacked by a cat.
If it was attacked, it's over. Wild birds are sensitive to the bite of a cat, and will die within a day or two. My best advice is to give it a C02 euthanasia treatment. Mix any old baking powder/soda, and any sort of vinegar, in a slow, steady amount will make the poor thing fall asleep, and die. It's the most humane way to go. A small tupperware container makes the best euthanasia chamber. BELIEVE ME when I say, use small amounts. Excessive amounts can potentially burn the inside of the throat, as well as the eyes.
Sorry for the disjointed sentences, I'm drunk.
