If it has feathers, it's probably fledged and can fly a bit (or almost fly). They always wander around looking vulnerable and horribly helpless at that stage, but the parents stay fairly close and keep taking care of them. Unless there's obvious immediate danger, the recommendation is to leave it alone. If it's hopping into the road, sure, point it the other way, but 99% of the time it's best to leave it be.
