This
is Tabetha. She is a European Starling. Tabetha is special because
she started her life out in the wild. She was only a few days old when
she fell out of the nest. Some people found her and raised her till she
could fly, but when she was set free, she didn't want to go! It was
scary in the big wide world. (You should never raise a wild animal if
you are not qualified! And European Starlings should not be released
into the American wild). Well, I work at the South Florida Wildlife
Center which is where they brought her. We cannot release Starlings so
we were going to have to euthanize her. But I didn't have the heart,
she was too sweet. So I adopted her and now she sings all day long in
her warm indoor home. She recently started to talk! Yes, Starlings are
mimics and they talk. You can visit her and my other babies
their website.
