The other day we had a pet sparrow for a few hours.
This little fella fell out of a tree (or the air) during a thunderstorm, and was a bit stunned, and sopping wet, so Indy caught him/her and brought 'em inside to dry off. S/he was pampered and held and petted and stared at with wide eyes and talked to with loud mouths for a while, then put away to rest.
We released her/him later that afternoon, and s/he flew off quite gratefully.
She (I'm just going with "she") was really cute.
And on a side-note, she looked a lot like the Pokemon Pidgey:
