Question
i found a baby crow it can not fly and the vets are not open what do i do

Answer
Baby birds usually leave the nest before they can fly. It's parents are probably around somewhere, so to put it back where you found it is the best thing to do. If the parents are dead or definitely gone, then contact your local wildlife rehabilitation center. But best thing is to put it back where you got it from.
