Amy and I were sitting on the back porch. We have a screened-in back porch.

We're just sitting out there relaxing and the cats started freaking out over by the screen, saw something outside. So we walked out there relaxing and the cats started freaking out over by the screen saw something

outside so we walked out there and there was a little bitty baby bird just a

little bitty guy he had no feathers and he was completely bald and he was just

helpless laying there in one of our flower beds and it appeared that he'd fallen out of a nest about 40 feet up above our house,

landed on the roof of our house, slid 20, 23 feet somewhere in there, down into the gutter,

waddled around in the gutter and went down the downspout and ended up in our flower bed.

And he's a baby starling. We did everything we could to get the mom to come back we put we made a little nest and put it up in the

gutter after quite a while probably six hours something like that we realized that the mom wasn't

coming back and it was going to die if we didn't do. So we took the bird in and got online and found out a lot about raising a baby starling.

And we ended up having to feed the bird every 20 to 30 minutes for 12 to 13 hours a day.

You know, the daylight hours, I had to feed it every 20 to 30 minutes. And we did that.

We did that for a week. He slowly got feathers and started looking different. We did that for two weeks.

And he got a lot of feathers and started looking like a bird. And he's just living on our back

porch. And then it got to where we could just feed him every hour.

As I record this today, he's 29 days old.

He's been flying for a little over a week.

And when I walk outside, he lands on my shoulder and I give him a little something to eat.

And he's one of our buddies.

He's part of the family. We named him Carl. He's a talkative guy eat and he's one of our buddies he's part of the family we named him

karl he's a talkative guy and he seems to enjoy our company but it was pretty fun to watch him

every step of the way and see him start out as just a little helpless guy to turn into this beautiful
