PET EUROPEAN STARLINGS
Information for Folks with Rescued Starlings

Are you new to the world of rescued European starlings? Do you wonder how other starling owners successfully share their homes with these birds? In this section we offer some of our thoughts and experiences as starling owners. Our purpose in doing so is to give you some insight and ideas about living with one of these incredible little birds. Remember that YOU are responsible for deciding how to do things for your own bird.

A starling owner criticized our website for having "an overload" of information. Our website contents, while sometimes lengthy, is organized so that it will not overwhelm visitors. Each longer page has a clickable "contents" list at the top, allowing you to click on a specific topic. Thus, you do not have to read entire webpages unless you want to do so. Visitors who prefer to be spoonfed info or who view reading as a waste of time should most likely skip this website altogether.
