It's mom is probably close by. Best bet IMO is to leave it alone and don't touch it, she may decide to feed it and ward off predators. If you can see the nest and get to it without upsetting the whole nest, you may be able to put gloves on and set it back in the nest.
But whatever you do, don't touch it and get your scent on the bird.
You're assuming it was tossed out of the nest Hammerhead. It may have been blown out. It may have fallen out. You actually have no idea and are basing your advice on assumptions.
Humans are a part of nature, no matter how you look at it.
We used to save everything from new-hatched chicks to fledges all the time when I was young, and this one looks VERY close. If it were me, I would make sure the baby is in a safe place (hopefully safe from cats) but nearby where it fell. Its parents know it's gone and where it is, they'll continue feeding it at this point.so I just now found this fallen baby bird in my yard, i don't wanna just let it die, but i don't know what to do either.

i don't think i can just give it worms as i think they must be regurgitated, plus what about water.
will the animal shelter or pet hospital take it?
thanks,
