Was outside with my cat having some supervised outdoor time, came across a pile of chicks from a nest that was apparently poorly placed on our roofline. Got 3 that I could find in a box (one didn't make it unfortunately) some some rags, placed on a planter box to keep them away from barn cats we have in the area. Took mama a minute to figure out they were still hers. Aside from one jumping out and having to be replaced, no further issues. Went out this morning, found two more in a bush, added them to the pile. Probably the most confused bird in the area at the moment. Common Starlings btw, but well worth taking care of. Anyone know how long until they're flying? One kept trying to do the 'flap to the ground' bit to escape me.
