Tbh pal, though it sounds cruel, you'r best off leaving it be i.e outside. As soon as humans step in it will probably die of shock. Take it outside and put in the shelter of bushes or other foliage. The vets/RSPCA/RSPB won't have anything to do with it much. It will be a fledgling in which case it has more of a chance than one that's just fallen out of the nest but it will be relying on its mother to feed it for a few days. If she has abandoned it then it doesn't have much hope I'm afraid.

Bird shelter pronto. Shelters fill the gap that the RSPCA and vets leave. They are run by individuals (nearly always just a bunch of aviaries in someone's back yard) and not listed in the yellow pages so you'll have to do a bit of research.

FWIW, shock in birds is very easy to treat, but vets do not want to know about it because the drugs cost money. Shelters can (at least in these parts - don't see why it should be different for yours) get a licence for the necessary drugs.

The joiner V chippie debate still rages on, it was fierce when i was at college 22 years ago, we had some shenanagans between the classes with pranks galore going on.
Chippies do all the graft, joiners do the fancy stuff.
Now i have become a general builder, im not the best person for defending chippies, today i used a hacksaw on some skirting as i couldnt find my tenon saw, still looked good though.

All my chisels are proper blunt cos im a lazy git and just throw them in a bucket, i used to keep them razor sharp.
I have neglected a lot of my power tools as well, there will be a problem and instead of fixing it i put somewhere in the garage and forget about it, loads of my tools need attention, like new blades, plugs, brushes etc.

So fair play to joiners they generally work to tighter tolerances and i use a nail gun on everything
