Raising A Wild Baby Bird: Steve the Starling 

please don't leave Steve outside by himself until he can fly really well. I had a wild fledgling I was getting used to being outside, I left him unattended and another bird attacked him and killed him. It really broke my heart.

We have two named Stanley and Herman. Two different ages, two different nests but the same type of bird. Herman the younger of the two I chalked up for dead 3x but the little guy keeps going! Stanley (the older one) helps to keep Herman warm and makes sure he eats often. It's a neat dynamic to watch these baby birds. I've been feeding them moist dog food mush with some wet cat food mixed in I also pick green worms out of my garden, get mulberries, blackberries and raspberries to mix in with the dog food. Stanley has graduated to a few meal worms and is working on flapping his wings for flight, he's still a few days away from fledgling stage but we spend all day outside so that when he has proven he can fend for himself he can take flight! This has been a learning experience.... Oh and to anyone else who finds themselves in this situation, they poop ALOT, be prepared to change the nesting frequently throughout the day and Good Luck 👍

Adorable baby in the flower pot. That is where they deserve to be - among flowers and not among lonely world.

I have one right now. They are the sweetest Little things

What a lovely video! That's pure happiness in this awful world we live the lie in. Actually Earth is magnifiently beautful and most sacred.

Beautiful this Bird ..👌👍

Tyvm for posting,I now realize what type of chicks I've found around the house ,featherless & passed away,was never quite certain what kind they were,they must have fallen out of a nest at my neighbours roof gutter,inside the roof,about second story

Wow, I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.

Wow, My best friend, Thank you for your hard work in making the video. I enjoyed the good video. Have a happy day.

We have a baby bird that looks like your Starling Steve. It is even younger than Steve was in the beginning of your video. He fell from his nest twice and then we brought him inside. He is very young but is only eating sparingly. I'm not positive that he is a Starling but he looks just like Steve, only smaller. We are feeding him baby food mixed with kitten food, all soft of course. He eats a tweezer full or two and then sleeps but he doesn't gape much. We live in an extremely hot environment and I don't know if he was injured by being on the ground in over 100 degree weather. At first he didn't do much at all but now he is chirping and eating occasionally. Was it difficult to care for Steve or should we bring it to a bird rescue? Great job with Steve. Thanks so much for sharing your experience.

I also raised one, but it was as old as Steve with the first full feathers, when i found it. I called it Charley Parker, as a joke to that constant monotone peeping. Fed it meal worms. I set it loose when it could properly fly. Cheeky bastard took off and never said thanks.😀

I've just found a wild bird, some grow had it in its mouth so I went out and they flew of,now I'm stuck with this little fella,I wish I knew what kind of bird he is, it there anybody on WhatsApp I could send a picture to, so we can identify him please.

I am having trouble getting my starling chick to eat. He won't open his mouth to willingly do so. He's maybe 5 days pre-fledgling. I've tried formula with a syringe & mealworms with tweazers. He's super healthy & strong. I've had him 24hrs & have gently made him eat some but he still won't open his mouth to eat. Help?

Great video! We are raising another Steve the Starling for the past 6 days at our Vegan homestead in north west Spain! Bert is his/her name!

What did u feed him?

Ay yo, what did you feed him I have one.

What is the name of this bird

Why release him/her though? They are invasive for one and two they make great pets!

Makes as much sense as saving a cockroach
