Without size it confused me. For a moment I thought of a Raven but
the beak isn't big enough. I don't think Geoffrey's suggestion of a Chough is
right, as the shape is wrong. Also they have the white wing patch when juvenile,
so (unless it has the white wings) if it is a Chough surely the question as to
what it is wouldn't arise.
Although it looks almost black on the photo, rather than dark
grey-brown, I can't go past that surely this is a juvenile Starling. Is the size
right for that? If it is, I wouldn't wish you to assist it. I suggest feed it to
something else.

We have had a fledgling brought in to the RSPCA that
apparently fell from its nest in Tidbinbilla – bird can fly quite well – can
someone please help to identify for our records
