jexner 🏳️🌈We found this bird in the garden. What do we do? If anything?

I identified the animal online and found these tips.
I think it’s a swift. If it’s an adult, placing it in your hand should allow it to fly away on its own, unless there’s a more serious problem.
If that’s the case, or if it’s a young bird, you should put it in a dark box and take it to the vet.
Because swifts eat only insects in flight—no kibble or anything else.

@khan_gnot thanks!
We tried the hand launch, but it can't keep itself in the air.
It doesn't look broken, but maybe exhausted?
