This is my pet European Starling, Maple! I found her all alone in my Mom's attic almost a year ago. She was just a fledgling, and had to be hand fed every hour
She's nearly fully grown now. Her favorite activities include probing everything in the hope of finding some delicious buggies, trying to fly into the sink for a shower anytime we try to wash dishes, stealing tissues, and just hanging out on my shoulder as I shuffle around the house. She's also started talking recently, and spends all day talking about how handsome she is and telling us to eat our worms š
(Gifs because she's very difficult to photograph
