young starling needs home in massachusettsif anyone in massachusetts would like a pet starling i have a young one who's just starting to get his/her big bird feathers.
i had 3 babies come in this summer with the worst case of lice i have ever seen on pin feather nestings. his siblings were fine and able to be released but this little guys feathers all broke off, they are starting to come in now, but i think he has a slight neurological issue, he sort of clumsy and doesn't really perch. loves his eggs, mealworms, and daily baths. please do some research on pet starlings before you consider him and let me know, some are capable of speech and imitating whistle's, he will need some socialization, i haven't because i kept hoping to release him, but it doesn't look like that's possible now

well, I'm up in Maine, and have had starlings in the past. I don't mind "special needs" birds. I don't mind catching bugs, or handling crickets and mealworms, so, I don't mind being a possible home to your baby. Starlings are so much fun. Thing with a starling, they are so very smart and inquisitive. Nosy little buggers have to stick their bills between toes and spread wide, thinking "Well, mama might have a cricket or 2 hidden in here"
