Not much of a feed in them Dom unless you get a few , try wires or drop it off at a vet .
Either that or put it back in the area you found it the parents are very protective of their young .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lv-KLwvwK90ou Can you hear this sound at all in the vicinity? The parents could be searching for it. Don't handle the bird as it may put the parents off caring for it. Placing it in a tree or bush with good cover could be the best option. Wait and see if the parents return.

Yeah, I hear that noise bit further away.
This little one makes the same call when I kinda encouraged him/her to do that
and watched if the parents turn up.
I agree, I need to let my species saving sentimentality go and not handle the bird much and let the old
folks do the hard job the way nature suppose to do it.

Vets don't care much for this sort of thing mate. I called Wildlife Vic and their advice is to let it go where I found it, but I'm bit reluctant to leave it just on the front lawn. I'm thinking leaving him/her on a tree rather. I'll see how it goes.

I left it on a tree branch, but flew onto the ground.
I think it's their natural behaviour at this stage to learn.
I hope it will make it. He/she's just under the tree atm.
ring wires as suggested Dom,save him from being eaten by a cat maybe
or hold him by the legs and raise and lower ya arm so he flaps his wings,build his strenghth up,he should fly soon,unless he fell out of nest and is yto early to learn
Watch this space, as there maybe a comment added soon

... or tape his legs to the roof rack and do a few laps of the block... use Low 2nd or you'll tire him out too much
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
I placed him/her on a tree but flew back to the ground and hanging around the ground under the tree atm, partially camouflaged. It appears to be searching for food on the ground as well.
I think this is how they learn. They either make it or end up as a snack, but it is not right to end up as a snack for 'native' tom cats.

It can fly from a tree to the ground, but not quite strong or grown with feathers to fly up onto the trees.
I'll watch out for next half hour or so and see what happens.
