Feeling Guilty for Not Saving an Animal

Question
A lady, while heading to work in the morning, found a small bird in its nest lying on the ground, but she was in a hurry and did nothing for it. On her way back, she found that someone had run over it. Is she to be blamed for leaving it like that?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Raising it was recommended, so you will not be sinful for not doing it, but you will be rewarded if you do raise it, and God knows best.
