Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male
I was walking my dogs and one of them brought me a baby bird. I took it home because I thought that was the best thing to do. After speaking to my boyfriend he said I should have left it so it’s mother could find it. I’ve taken it back and have watched it i from a distance for an hour and it’s mum still hasn’t come. What shall I do?

Your boyfriend is correct. You should always leave baby birds where you find them. At this stage I suggest you try to find a wildlife rehabilitator that can come and pick up the bird. This link should help you. ( https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/wildlife/orphanedanimals )
