As long as it wasn't hurt, it was probably ok out on its own with parents watching over it, as long as obvious predators weren't around.

I couldn't tell, the little bird seemed fine. I tried throwing it up in the air to help it fly off but it wouldn't fly. Something else might of been wrong with it. I just hope he makes it.
Usually their wings may still be growing and a bit too short to take flight. I have a hunch that that was the situation. Fledglings often leave their nest before being able to fly and spent a few days or a week on the ground until they're capable.
