Actually, yes! Baby birds are fed grubs and bugs by their parents. Wetted dry or canned cat and dog food is often an excellent baby bird food. Its okay to keep feeding the baby bird that cat food.

But if you don't often rescue baby birds, please know you may have picked up a fledgling. If it was not in a nest, but on the ground, most likely it was at the stage when it first jumped out of the nest and was going to spend 3 days or so on the ground hopping around and being cared for by its parents while it exercised its wings - this is a stage birds go through and humans dont usually notice and if humans do approach, the parent birds usually stay out of the way. You should try returning it to the location you found it, then hiding out of sight, and waiting for an hour or two to see if the parents show up. If they do, then leave it be.

Otherwise, below is a link to a rshort blurb on feeding baby birds and another link from an interesting book from 1898 about how to raise wild animal and birds. If you like to read, browse down the first few pages til you see the kind of bird you think you have. Good luck and thanks for being cool to one of nature's creatures.

If the bird is fully feathered, it is most likely a fledgling and has left the nest on it's own and it's parents are caring for it. You need to replace it where you found it..preferably in a scrub or tree so it is relatively safe from predators, and the parents should come back to feed it. If it is unfeathered...then look for a nest and if you can find it...replace it into the nest. Do not worry about your scent being on the chick..birds have a very poorly developed sense of smell and will NOT reject a baby that has been touched. If you cannot find a nest, get the bird to a local wildlife rehab for it's best chance of survival. Also, keep in mind, it is illegal for you to try and raise this bird on your own.
