Re the comments about Starlings after the TV programme.
I had one experience which made me think that starlings were not dverse to human company, or maybe like a free lunch! My husband brought me a young starling that had got trapped in an air vent outside his work place.,
It didn't seem injured but was very shocked. I put it in a dark box to rest, when I took the lid off it hopped into my arm. I fed it and opened the door and put it outside-it was fully fledged, After a few minutes it flew back into the house, and pottered about the kitchen work surfaces looking for crumbs. To cut a long story short, for three weeks it came into the house at every opportunity, sitting on my head when I worked at the sink, and fluttereding under the spray when the tap was turned on. If I carried anything outside it continued to sit on my head and returned with me. I put it outside at night and in the morning it was waiting to come in! After three weeks it disapeared.
isn't wild wonderful
What a lovely story. A cheeky opportunist who got you rather well-trained instead of the other way around. Nice one Min!
The necessity of bird-watching is a really good reason for avoiding all forms of housework.
The dust will still be there tomorrow - the birds may not be!
Hi Min
How lovely, sounds like a right character - he obviously felt very safe with you after you helped him. I love happy endings!
