European (Common) Starling

[Blue_Roses]

14. Yes! I rescued a baby who had fallen

out of the nest, but couldn't find the nest to put her back. She was trembling and cold, because she had no feathers.All you could see was her pink skin.

I scooped her up and searched the web for rehabilitators, but came up short, so I decided to learn how to rehabilitate her myself. The website, Starlingtalk.com gave me a wealth of information.

Come to find out, her leg has a slipped tendon and she can only walk on one foot, so she couldn't be released back into the wild. I named her Molly and have never regretted one day of keeping her. She is so sweet and whistles, while saying, "She's a pretty girl!"

She just turned three years old.

BTW, the way to tell a male from female is the color of their beaks. Males have yellow and females have pink.
