    I’d give it a week, two max.
    I had baby birds, just regular old brown birds, drop into my yard last spring and my dogs decided they’d be good snacks. I got to them before they were hurt and ended up building a small box/fence around where they fell and waited for them to float over.
    By then, they were almost able to fly and I knew they’d be gone in a day or two. :]

    If you are talking about Northern Cardinals, "The chicks begin leaving the nest 7 to 13 (usually 9 to 10) days after hatching. The parents continue to feed the chicks for 25 to 56 days after they fledge from the nest." http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Cardinalis_cardinalis.html

    Remember, baby birds fledge (leave the nest) several days before they start to fly. They hop around on the ground, and they climb on low branches until their wings are strong enough for them to fly. The parent birds continue to feed and care for the fledglings until they are self-sufficient. If you see a baby bird on the ground, and it has most of his feathers, leave him alone. Do not assume that it needs to be "rescued."
