I just found one earlier, the strong wind knocked out their nest, one was dead and the other survived. I'm currently working on saving it but it's been on the ground for hours before i found it, it's very weak and can barely open its mouth to eat. I'm sad it won't make it, but I'm gonna do my best. You're video definitely helped me with how to handle it, thank you!
The starlings ability to communicate and survive is impressive . A pest to some but I've learn to love them. Hoping to see a murnuration later this year 🙏
I have just saved a nest from being thrown in a bin, hoping eggs are still viable, I can't just chuck them without being sure. Trying to keep the eggs warm. If they do hatch, what do you feed them? How much should you feed them? Need to learn quickly, have tried finding help for them, but the people I thought would help told me to.bin them😢
You 've done a great job❤ . I also got two hatchlings but they still not open their eyes. 3 days are passed and i ' m feeding them. For how long do they take to open their eyes.
I was cleaning out our vents as well and found two big nests and found only one egg , I'm trying to find as much information to care for them and help them hatch. Their parents ruined our vents made big holes I'm annoyed by it but I'm still going to try my best to care for it.
I found a baby starling, it was about 3 days old when I found it, when it was 12 days old. My brother gave it a bath and it drowned yesterday, I will miss you Blue! :(
Lucy T they will need a high protein diet that is really wet and fed every 20 mins. i would use organic baby foods like turkey mixed with a little water. good luck:)
yes this works really well for older chicks, this is what I them once they were strong steady eaters with pins. this also allowed them to eat less often as it kept them full longer.
Ya but WHAT is "mush"?? Protein powder?? I just found a baby starling in my driveway, l have a dropper bottle but dont know What to feed it! Other than drops of water.. its eyes arent open yet..
From my experience you don’t HAVE to feed them every 20 or 30 minutes. Hand raised some orphaned baby mockingbirds and from nestling to fledgling. As long a you keep them warm they can survive up to 24 hours without food. Just keep them warm, I have a chick warmer I used. Dying from being cold seems to be the main reason for death in nestlings. I work 8 hours a day and none of them died from hunger, but they were always really hungry when I got home.
hey i know this comment is a year old, but do you have any tips? i think i may have a mockingbird or starling (too young to tell). i found him at school with no nest or anything in sight, his pin feathers are starting to come in but he still has his downy baby hair. right now i’m keeping him just overnight and taking him to the rehabbers tomorrow, but if he is a starling and they don’t take him then i’ll have to care for and raise him
So I have a starling named Hawk, he (or she idk the gender) is very sweet, I found him when he was about 2 days old, my only concern with him is that he is 2 months old and still can`t fly. if you have any tips on how to help birds fly it would be aprecciated
If choosing to syringe feed, how any mL per feeding, and how many total mL should they have per day? For one with a few pin feathers and eyes barely open. Not sure of age.
This is either good or bad. These birds are invasive. I actually shoot them because I have to have them out of the eaves. But they are also very intelligent, are trainable, and can speak. I have 3 that are nearly the same age. I doubt I have time to care for them. But when they die in the eaves it is a terrible smell that brings hundreds of flys.
What do u feed tham.. I have same 1 and he is 7 days old I guess because he have little feather on.. what can I say?! On her hands.. I don't know how to feed them and what.. ND I m from India
A starling laid 2 babies in my dryer machine ventilation pipe. Had to get rid of the nest but we rescued the nestlings and now im feeding and taking care of them. They are always hungry
@@chatterlaneaviary3231 Thank you for your reply. Turns out to be a fledgling Robin. I've built a temporary bird box,got the fledgling warm in there ( tea towel) and so far,so good. The parents are returning every 45 mins or so to feed it. Has a slight scratch from the cat, bit worried about that but out of my hands now. Will you message you back in a day or two to let you know how it goes. Thank you for your reply,much appreciated.
Just watched your video and I'm so happy you decided to try and give them the best chance possible, I just wanted to know really what the outcome was. Did they make it? I really really hope so! X
hi! thank you it was a lot of fun! ive never had to hand feed so many so young at one time. they all made it, and have all been adopted out. there is one left still waiting for a home, but its thr more independent one so he's having a harder time finding a family.
Could you please help me we found a baby starling on the ground, and this is our second day with him/her. There is a clicking noise coming from it i would really appreciate it if you could answer me back. Thank you.
Do you know when we can start feeding them bugs? I found one on the ground and waited for the parents, but I didn’t see any signs of them and I can’t take him to the vet or rehabilitator because of this crisis so is there any tips on what to feed him and how to keep him alive?
Kriti Katiyar no I couldn’t get the right equipment for them and no vet or rehabilitator would take them, it was hard trying to keep them alive for a week ,but cat food is a good option just make sure it’s mashed up like apple sauce and keep them warm
Kriti Katiyar soak the cat food for a long time, for me it would take 1-2 hours to be soaked properly but it may be different for you. Feed with a syringe or a little straw.
Please help!! I have just disturbed a nest, I have 5 too, but not sure how to keep them warm, I don’t have a heat lamp, any advice would be really helpful
Dawn Scott if you can put them back in the nest, the parents will return to care for them. If the nest is gone, youll have to get a heat lamp or find a rescue for them.
Chatter Lane Aviary thank you for your response, my babies are now living wild in the countryside of Spain. They keep popping back for some food and to see us of course!! I managed to release 3, the other 2 sadly didn’t make it past a couple of days with us. I’m such a proud moms!! Thank you again
please help! I rescued a baby yesterday (He really was in danger, he was the only on not dead in the nest of 4. I think they were starved as he was so thin and his skin was brittle.) he doesn't open his mouth to feed! He does it once, if I play sounds of other babies feeding, but then closes it and I have to force it. I`m worried about him.
Polopony20 thats really sad! he sounds very weak and very dehydrated. keep him warm and try to offer him food every 15 min. use really watered down baby turkey food and a straw or medicine dropper. put it past the babies mouth in its crop. you can try to get a beg response by blowing softly on its face or tickling his beak around its edges
Hi....i found a nestling last night...had no idea what to do or how to feed him. Put him outside under the nest so its parents might come and see but they didn't. He was really cold to touch. I kept him in sunlight for few minutes and his temperature seems fine now. Its lying on his back like a dead bird but breathing. I don't know how and what to feed him. Can i feed him bread soaked in water? I have nothing else at hand either 😣😣😣
Akasha Malik hi im sorry you found a baby. It sounds like hes really weak and probably wont make it- BUT i would try to get a little water in him first by gently dipping his beak it a small pool of water. He will also need really wet food, a turkey baby food watered down a little works well. There are some recipes for the different ages in my videos
hi, i have 2 baby doves, do you know what I can feed them and how to feed them? The mother left them in the nest a few days ago and hasn’t reuturned since. The first egg hatched today and I just want to make sure they survive 🥺
necromancer you can get bird feeding formula for the doves from the pet store. They are easy to feed and rear. The directions are on the container. They are seed eaters so the generic bird formula will work. I believe the brand is kaytee and there are pictures if baby parrots on it
Place birdie in box with nest type setting Close it for a few seconds maybe a minute It helps for Creating a nesting sensation of when mama bird approaches Literally just found the lil guy I won’t give up Neither should you
Hey, I saved one earlier today its eating fine seems to be ok but just thought i would tell you i read up today that leaving them on slippery surfaces or a surface with no grip like that tub can cause a disorder that is something to do with their legs permanently being wide apart and they call them swimming birds, im not putting you down or anything because i dont know whats inside the tub and that was just the lid but thought i would say just incase 🤷🏻♂️ i hope mine survives the night because it wasn't in a nice way when i found it ☹️
Daniel Harris you are absolutely right. if you see the other videos you can see the liner and grass in there. i had to change it multiple times a day because they are so stinky and dirty.
hi have a baby starling, it has eaten some of the food mix I made following the recipe off a bird care web site and it has pooped (cleaned it out )any tips for feeding And care in general? how often do I need to feed it? thanks for any help 😊
Underworld Secrets it depends on the birds age, featherless birds are ever 20 min through daylight hours. older babies that are getting a thicker food go to ever hour during daylight hours. starlings are very smart and will need a lot of enrichments as they learn and grow. the larger the cage and the more interaction you give them the happier they will be. as adults they are omnivorous and will love exploring new foods
Palazerker youre right- its not the best. Some babies that have gone without food for too long get too weak to respond, so force feeding is temporarily necessary. When force feeding its important to know the body language, anatomy, and to go very slow. The first time i had to do it years ago i accidentally did. It should be a last resort. Healthy babies beg naturally
First of all it is always better to leave a baby bird with its parents. That being said, sometimes we have to step in and help babies that have truly been abandoned or rejected. The mortality of hand raised birds is very high especially if you dont have a lot of time on your hands. It is a full time commitment. I raised 5 starlings from 1 day old nestlings to adult birds. The best thing to feed them is science diet kitten food soaked in water. Also Purina one kitten food works well to as long as chicken is the first ingredient. Also they love mealworms. Live is best, but you can use the freeze dried ones and just rehydrate them in water. Do not feed them earthworms! NEVER PUT WATER DIRECTLY INTO A BABY BIRDS MOUTH. you will cause them to aspirate. They get their water from their food. Keep them warm. Also keep them on a non slippery surface or they will get splayed legs. I always used hand towels because I could change them out frequently and they washed out just fine. It is very important to feed the baby birds every 15-20 minutes during daylight hours. You do not have to feed them during the night. Also use a pet bird vitamin in the food so they get vitamin D. And if possible they need indirect sunlight through a window.
Theresa Leggett yes i agree, always leave birds with the parents and in the wild if you are able. I have been hand raising small softbills for years, each bird requires different needs. I agree with the water in the mouth there are safer techniques to use. I dont agree with using kitten food this young only because there are alot of unnecessary additives in it that the birds dont need, i used high protein all natural dog food when they were older so im sure kitten food is great once plumage comes in and they are eating more solid pieces. Thanks for the comment, glad your helping those babies
My dumb mean cats keep being baby birds home dead. Just found one alive and it looks like a starling. The one I have had more feathers and it's fatter. But still not big enough to fly. So I'm gonna try my best to keep it alive and let it go when it's able to fly and survive. No ideas on what I'm doing except for these and other videos. Seeing how vulnerable they are really pulls on the heart strings. I have nothing against cats killing and eating what they kill but these cats that were orphaned kill just to kill and it's hard to except that especially when they are not starving
Hi. I found 2 baby starlings with just about the same size as the ones on the video. I've fed them with wet cat food and they ate. But today they aren't opening their mouth. I thing they are giving up. What should I do?
Chris Fleming yes i know- however with these guys its not necessary their beg response is really good. If you ever have to hand feed society or zebra finches it maybe more necessary. And no need to be an narcissistic ass- youre welcome
@@chatterlaneaviary3231 I love how women always think a dude is being a narcissistic ass, it's text, but thanks for calling me names, I was just makes a suggestion, go watch Captain Marvel, should make you feel right at home
Chris Fleming ending your comment with “you’re welcome” is exactly that- assuming your presence is a gift we are privileged to receive and that we are so dumb as too absolutely need your comment. Communication 101. If you are not or do not want to be seen as one- treat people with respect and use respectful communication.
At this age, they got infant food, turkey and gravy flavor with some desolved tums and iodine water to give them all their vitamins and make sure they get water.

What do you feed them? My family has some baby birds and doesn't know what to feed them.
If you could reply back, that would be nice?
Thanks, Lucy
Lucy T hi ! what type of baby birds do you have and how old are they? that determines what food they get
Yes ,I have a less than 1 day old baby red winged blackbird :)
Lucy T they will need a high protein diet that is really wet and fed every 20 mins. i would use organic baby foods like turkey mixed with a little water. good luck:)
I'm feeding my baby starling mashed up moist dog biscuits. bits of egg whites stuff with high protein. and he/she is coming along really well.
yes this works really well for older chicks, this is what I them once they were strong steady eaters with pins. this also allowed them to eat less often as it kept them full longer.
How long from when they are hatched until they fledge?
When do you sleep? lol
Lol never
Ya but WHAT is "mush"??
Protein powder?? I just found a baby starling in my driveway, l have a dropper bottle but dont know What to feed it! Other than drops of water.. its eyes arent open yet..
I use the turkey and gravey infant (human) food to get them started- the really low eaters for baby babies

Carol Combs baby birds don’t drink, they drown very easily. All the liquid they need is in the food the parents give it to them.
How much and how often do u feed a nestling?
Lykha Puzon until their crop is full and depends on age, every 30 min or so when a few days 4 times a day when nearly feathered
Force feeding isn't a good idea, it may result in asphyxiation for the chick, i found that out the hard way

Can they eat bread?
frderik justesen bread can be offered as a treat but it doesnt have enough nutrients to be a stable part of their diet.
Hi. I found 2 baby starlings with just about the same size as the ones on the video. I've fed them with wet cat food and they ate. But today they aren't opening their mouth. I thing they are giving up. What should I do?
Afonso Lopes you can blow on them or tap the sides of their beaks. If they still dont beg, you can gently open and tilt their heads back
Really, straw?.... No tweezers?
Gregg Tagatac yes a straw bc they are still on a more fluid diet. When they are eating more solid food you can certainly use tweezers

If you would whistle to the bird it would perk up and open wide for you.. fr, just whistle sounding like the birds mom.. you're welcome
Chris Fleming yes i know- however with these guys its not necessary their beg response is really good. If you ever have to hand feed society or zebra finches it maybe more necessary. And no need to be an narcissistic ass- youre welcome
@@chatterlaneaviary3231 I love how women always think a dude is being a narcissistic ass, it's text, but thanks for calling me names, I was just makes a suggestion, go watch Captain Marvel, should make you feel right at home
Chris Fleming ending your comment with “you’re welcome” is exactly that- assuming your presence is a gift we are privileged to receive and that we are so dumb as too absolutely need your comment. Communication 101. If you are not or do not want to be seen as one- treat people with respect and use respectful communication.
Thank you chatter lane aviary. Yes he has passed away.
Jose Rodriguez im sorry to hear this! Good effort put into him
They're adorable, but for the life of me I can't help but think that when they chomp on their food it looks like they're muppets X)

At this age, they got infant food, turkey and gravy flavor with some desolved tums and iodine water to give them all their vitamins and make sure they get water.
