I try but I always swallow my gum too, hard to keep it in there
update: it knocked the box over and was back on the ground. Seems both wings work and maybe it was trying to shed heat. Now in a larger box under the nest. Parents quite loud. Not sure I should toss back in nest since three other birds there and not much room

So... back in the nest and he hopped out immediately. Caught him one handed mid air. Whew
Clamp lead fishing weights to his legs, it will cut down on the hopping or make his wings super strong. (resistance training)
Birds have no sense of smell. They cannot know if the nestling was handled by people. Put it back in the nest. That will be the best course of action for all concerned.
