So I have to hear this bird die slowly begging for help.
Man....this sucks.
A good thing - it shouldn't take but another day or so.

So the nest is like 30 feet up in a tree I can't reach. The parents are gone. I haven't really seen them for a couple days. And he's just wearing himself out. Told the expert about it, and he said it sounds like it's unfortunately abandoned.

Actually, good news. I went out and right when I went out I saw his parent fly away from the nest after a noisy feeding.
He's actually a JAY. lol, no wonder. He's just a little noisy butthole.
Good news.

If you could reach that high, you could take the nest down and feed it. Oh this is just heart wrenching! I don't know who you called. Was it a wildlife rescue group?

Leave it alone and quit poking your nose into the natural order of things like an average human.
Nature isn't liking for your sympathy or help.
I rescued a hummingbird that was stuck in my garage today. I don't know if she was grateful for my help, but at least she is alive. I guess I should have just let nature take it's course...?
Maybe there is a difference in your story and th OP?
Bird in your domain? Sure, help it find an exit.
Bird in it's own domain? Maybe just let it happen.
My point was that nature isn't waiting around for humans to save it. Save that bird and you may deprive a snake of his next meal.
Where do you believe the line is between helping and interfering?

He's just a noisy little butthole JAY. His "Dad" or whoever, was the same one pecking at the mirrors on my car like a nutcase.
Really happy now. False alarm.

I happen to have a 5 foot python and two tarantulas, one being a birdeater size so i got a whole plethora of food chain things going on in my house but my first reaction to seeing a nest and no momma wasn't free snake or spider food, it was wondering if they would live. Its a baby, helpless on its own and if abandoned can still be saved by us ruthless heartless humans.
I believe that you did the right thing.

Hmmm... I suppose there is a line and that is where mine is now that you put it that way. She was in a very human domain where she should not be so I got her out.
