Hi
2 weeks ago today we found a starling nestling near our bird feeder, half feathered, directly where the crows in our garden come and we get a lot, not directly near a tree and no parents in sight, tried sticking it in plant pot hanging in a tree but it fell out, stuck it in my shed and it has been feeding for last two weeks, lively has feathers, been taking it out in the garden couple of times a day sits on my hand and shoulder, flutters but does not fly but must be flying a bit in my shed it is big and gets to the top ledges inside. flaps both wings, lively but I have noticed its left eye sometimes does not open properly, when i take it in the garden it hops away ok to shelter and wants feeding
I really want to leave it in the garden and hope it flies away, but have no idea how to proceed now, any ideas please.
Your comment about the parents realising something was wrong may be right there is a lot we do not understand about bird behaviour
