Starling fledglings not sure what to do we have them in a nestbox did let one on the lawn but others attacked him so hes back in. Anyone has any experience of rearing birds

Not a great deal but I know that feeds have to be extremely regular. I once kept a robin alive for a weekend by hand feeding it but I was a teenager at the time and I dare say other things took priority as they do, and the poor little thing did die. I know now it was because I wasn't feeding enough.

id leave well alone.....they are vermin (starlings) and best not encouraged :(

Best resource online I have found for wildlife husbandry:
http://wildlife1.wildlifeinformation.org/S/00Man/AvianHusbandryTechniques/UKBHusbIndTech/HR_Av_Passerines.htm

Or I would contact any local wildlife rescue places to see if they will help with advice, or take the birds. It can be difficult to do yourself, and especially hard to make sure they don't get over-humanised (and then have no real expectation of being released). Starlings are very intelligent.

I think they may be protected birds now, and this counts as their 'close season'.

If your anywhere near St Tiggywinkles they may take them, they are in Alyesbury, or you could phone them for advice 01844 292292  it's a 24hr service.

both died, one in the night and the other was on my decking feeding, baby was crying went to fetch him and i heard some birdy screams, feathers but no bird think i cat would know better that to venture into the lions den so im thinking magpie maybe?!!! poor thing but like  said there are plenty of them was, sad though R.I.P peter and paul

Awww, poor wee things, at least you tried.
I have to pick up a few peepers every year, our house seems to be a bit of a mecca for various nesting birds, I usually am able to pop them back in the nest though. Currently we have first incubation of 3 House Martin pairs and 2 Swallows. The Blackbirds by the back door and the colony of Dunnings in the clematis are on their 2nd lot.

Celli do Dunnets look a bit like wrens? we have a small brownish wren type bird, but its not a wren!

They look like slimmer sparrows - more streamlined than the chunkier sparrows.

Dunnocks?
They are a bit sparrow-like but have grey heads, smaller and shyer.
Or possibly Tree Sparrows which are even more sparrow-like, but  are smaller, don't have the big black bib that house sparrows have, and the sexes look the same from a distance. Two of these were mating in our garden last week which prompted my mother to wonder if they were gay female House sparrows.....!

Wasnt one of those then, maybe it was a wren?

I ment Dunnocks, old age, gets you every time. They used to be Hedge Sparrows I think, then got re-named for some reason.
