Why did you remove them from the nest? Do you realize they need to be free and breed?

[huffington99]

The location of the nest was creating a niose problem for my grandmother. I removed them around May 5, 2008. I then nursed them until the summer solstice and then I released them. Letting them free left me feeling good.

u shouldnt take birsds from their nest its like taking a baby from its mother

European Starlings are one of 3 species found in North America that are NOT protected by the Migratory Bird Act. Dear God people,do your homework before you go trying to call other people out for doing something "illegal". It is perfectly legal to keep a Starling under US Federal Law. Note that certain states may prohibit it, but as far as a US law goes, Starlings are not protected.

@StarChild840 - Thanks for that information, we keep 4 starling houses in the backyard and I was thinking about raising some.

@syp1002 oh and if you do feed them the farex cereal, remember to mix it with water and don't mix it with milk. :)

[kerryluvztodd]

@syp1002 When ours grew up, we fed it crushed up hard boiled egg with bread crumbs and insect mix mixed with a spoon of baby food. They also love mealworms, but only occasionally as a treat. you should be able to get the insect mix and the worms from your local pet store. We started off feeding our starling egg and cat biscuits crushed up together too, but I do think the insect mix is an important part of a healthy diet for them.

@syp1002 hey, even though this question isnt directed at me, my family has a starling. Since its only a baby you will need to feed it a farex baby food mixture using a straw which has been cut off so you can easily feed it and help it swallow since it wont eat food on its own yet.

@huffington99 what do u feed them with? i just found a abandon baby starling today. and im feeding cooked egg yolk+cat kibble for now. but what does it eat when its ready to fly?
