Yes, as Charis said, you can put him in a small cage to take him to see the baby if you have to. It sounds like the baby might just be a "feral" now, it seems as though he has joined them. You might try using a long-handled net, or a box-trap. Keep in mind too that bringing the dad around the ferals might get the dad sick if the ferals have anything!
It can be extremely dangerous to tie any sort of thing to a bird, whether it is string, rope, wire, tape, etc., for a lot of reasons, but in this case especially; if he got away from you and a bit of the string slipped off, he could escape you but still remain tangled up in string, for example. Or it could tear a wing off or tangle around his neck.
Of course you are trying to do the right thing and catch the baby, we are just trying to help keep the dad bird safe too for you. Any sign of the other baby?
