Hey,
theres a baby starling in my back garden who has been there for the better part of two days calling and calling but it seems to be on its own (it can fly but it keeps coming back), its spent all its time looking around and any bird that flys by it flaps its wings like mad but no other starlings come to it. It looks like this poor fecker has been abandoned or is lost, and being the big softy i am, what can i do? what do they eat?...i feel sorry for the poor thing and cant just leave it there

any ideas?
