Is it best left alone or should I pick it up and put it somewhere safe?

Maybe it's just the picture but is it's lower beak off to one side compared to the top bit?
Looks like it's ready to fly so it should be fine if you leave it alone, but if you've moved it out of the road twice then maybe there's something wrong with it.

It seems to be swollen on one side of its crop? Is this normal?

If I KNEW it was suffering I would go and bash it. I don't want to do that because I'm not sure.
