little birdy


I feel so bad for this little birdy.

I found a juvenile Starling out the front being attacked by crows, I don't think there was anything wrong with the bird apart from It's inability to defend itself. It couldn't fly for some reason, nothing felt broken.

I took it into the vet where I was greeted by a vet nurse who didn't seem to care (left me feeling a bit annoyed! When I'm a vet nurse I hope i never get like that.).  I know Starlings are pests in WA but I wonder if the vet is just going to put it down because it's not native. 

Starlings are pretty.
