Raven possibly ill, any tips or advice welcome?

I have found a small raven chick that's barely able to fly next to a garbage can, it doesn't seem to be incapable of flying, but that's probably because of its young age. I have taken it into my home without too much of a hassle, i've given it some water and seeds, but it won't touch them, probably out of fear. Also, it seems to be exhausted, as it falls asleep the instant it's left alone. Is it sick? Also, what safety precautions should i consider while handling it? Besides avian flu.Raven possibly ill, any tips or advice welcome?
If the bird is fully feathered, it is most likely a fledgling and has left the nest on it's own and it's parents are caring for it. It is normal for birds to leave the nest before they can fly. You need to replace it where you found it..preferably in a scrub or tree so it is relatively safe from predators, and the parents should come back to feed it. If it is unfeathered...then look for a nest and if you can find it...replace it into the nest. Do not worry about your scent being on the chick..birds have a very poorly developed sense of smell and will NOT reject a baby that has been touched. If you cannot find a nest, get the bird to a local wildlife rehab for it's best chance of survival. Also, keep in mind, it is illegal for you to try and raise this bird on your own. Look for a rehab here:

If this bird is injured in any way it should also go to a rehab. You cannot get avian flu from this bird either.
