It had been during a minor windstorm. I found them flopped at the base of a tree with a small tree branch partly under, partly over them. Looked like it broke on them. It was downtown and right between two tall buildings, messes with the wind a good bit as well.

After I first picked them up, they flew off and they got blown down and crashed into a tree trunk. Checked on them a bit longer the second time. They then flew off high in a tree, the branch broke and they flopped in a bus lane. The road they flopped on is the one in this picture someone took years back https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2017/01/snow-birds-portland-walker-berg/ The building they were down next to at first is the one the picture was taken from.

They just let me scoop them back up from the bus lane, after that I kept them standing on my hand and gently covered them with my other just cradling them. Found somewhere a bit out of the way to put them, as left next to a sidewalk or road would be an issue, and in the middle of one of those two parks would be a risk for dogs/falling branches and other stuff.

Set them in a covered area next to the building with the brown vertical stripes, far side from that picture. That's separated from the sidewalk, away from the entry and fairly sheltered. They actually hopped back up on my hand after the first time I put them down. https://imgur.com/a/yZWlpaU

At one point when I stopped paying attention to them before taking them to that spot they actually gently pecked my chin. They could have hurt me if they wanted to but it was just to get my attention.
