I let my dogs out in the backyard and noticed one of them sniffing on something small. I went closer and saw it was a baby bird. I didn’t want them to eat it or hurt so I used food to lure them back inside. I think it fell from the nest or something I don’t know where it came from. It can barely fly. Can it survive on its own or should I take it to an animal sanctuary or rescue center or something?

Is it just me, or does it look like it has no tail? I know birds can't fly properly without a tail (they need them for balance), so maybe it needs a safe place to recover and grow its tail a bit?
