Wow, I loved seeing your photos and reading about Lil Peeps. Back in the 1990's, I rescued a naked baby bird and my son named it CJ after a classmate. I gave it to my sister to raise. I started him out on dry dog food that I made into a mush, then used a tiny syringe to feed him. My sister got him going on worms and fruits. She successfully raised a starling! In the fall, his instincts kicked in and he went to get in with more starlings, you know how they like to get in big flocks. Lil Peeps is very pretty, I bet hearing him chirping is very cool. Take care Lil Peeps! Robin
