Great story and thanks for sharing! I recently found a little flightless blue bird a couple weeks ago. I was walking around the U of A campus when I found it. I couldn't bring it home because my cat would of got it so I just let it go along the bike trail. It seemed active enough that it was getting around without flying and there was enough woods and trees around the trail it seemed like a safer environment for it.
