Paging Kosse...
or anyone else that could help me with a wildlife question. This morning at work we kept hearing birds chirping loudly but we couldn't figure out from where. We later discovered there were 3 starling fledglings in a closet. We also figured out that mama bird had flown down a very narrow opening very high in the ceiling, behind some pipes, and made her nest there. Yesterday there was a starling flying in the school and they chased it out the front door. She hasn't been back since yesterday. We called the animal rehab and they said starlings are euthanized because they are pests and aren't indigenous so we can't bring it there. I learned that cat food is good to feed them and they have all eaten. I have them in a small cage right now but I sure could use some pointers. I know fledglings are supposed to be left along but in this case, there was no choice. Leaving them there would have been leaving them to starve. Taking them to the shelter would have been certain death. They aren't ready to fly yet so we couldn't release them. Help?
