Day 14 of 21 (Ruby’s in her last week!)
Last week, I learned from a friend that she and her family had rescued and were rehabilitating an abandoned baby Starling. Of course, I had to ask if I could please come visit this baby.
A few years ago, I read a book called Mozart’s Starling, and it made me want to meet a Starling. I couldn’t believe my good fortune when my friend agreed I could come meet this bird. It was a magnificent experience, just as I had hoped.
That little bird was all mouth and so bossy, just as a spoiled baby should be, and I just loved it. My friend and her family have been feeding the baby many, many times a day. The baby has to eat so much that the family has to take shifts. I have no doubt this is an epic job.. I remember watching the mama and daddy Easter Phoebe last summer. They worked tirelessly to feed those babies.
I wanted to share some pictures of the magnificent Little Bird! I hope they make you smile.
Aw that is adorable! I had an adult starling take food from my hands but this is just cute !
It was such a treat to get to meet this bird! I was so grateful!
