I take his pictures one day and save his life the next!! We were on our way to go see Zohan and Kelly sees this poor little guy on the ground! Same Starling I took the photos of. On the ground looking up trying to figure out how to get back!!!
I figure one of his siblings tossed him out.
So, like a flash, I run back inside as I hear Kelly say "hurry he is running away!!" to get a towel. Summoning up the powers granted me threw knowledge acquired on forums like this one slowly I approached the little fella. He cocked his head one way. I stood fast. He cocked his head the other way, swallowing my fear, still I stood fast.
Then all at once, like cold molasses, I I brought the towel around behind him. Holding my hand in front of him. Up he stepped on the towel, same as a well trained parrot.
There he sat. Cocking his head one way then the other. The moment was tense. Up I reach will all my might!!! Up to his nest in the iron rail!!!
He looked back at me, his eyes filled with gratitude and joy at being reunited with his siblings!!








































short form. I found a bird on the ground and put him back in his nest.

That was great - hope you don't have to do that too often ... or ....
I expect your next thread will be 'raising a starling'.

You are our hero!!!!!

Way to go Jim!!! After reading the last sentence of your story, I started LOL and then had to read the whole story out loud to my husband to answer his question, "Why are you laughing?"

I just laughed out loud to myself here. I have mental images of you with this poor baby, throwing the towel over it. Too cute and funny.

Great, heartwarming kindness, love these threads, make you feel good. You are a darling.

Hugs from Sue, Peggy and Pi'ere.

Another little one saved, Thank you Jim!

Great story, very well done.

Happy honorary-Starling-foster-Father's Day, Jim!!

WOW. Your a brave hero, i can only imagine the fear and adrenaline rush you felt on having to rescue that poor wee thing!
