Starling found.


Well I have a baby starling one of its legs seem to bend making it walk with a wing as a crouch but no sighns of broken bones or cuts.

I have went on Starlingtalk and got some help for the diet and such.

But is it normal for it to sleep with its head up?


Heres some pics.

Is the little one leaning against something while sleeping?

Could you post a pic of the starling sleeping?

What angle to horizontal is the starling holding its head while sleeping?

Is the head pointed at a 90 degree angle up (straight up)?

The pictures make it look like there is a scrape to the side of the mouth.

Do you know any fruites I can feed it at this age?

I feed my 6 yr old starling, grapes, broccli, spinach, kale, and blueberries (she's a picky girl). I wouldn't go crazy with the fruit, starlings are insectivores not frugivores!
