I put the starling chick/fledgling (it has most of its feathers) in a child's shoebox with a hole cut in it on a third floor windowsill about 6ft from the original nest hole. Hopefully it's not too stressed and exhausted by the fall or a night on the ground to make it this time*
*The same thing happened last year and by the time i'd figured out what was going on, had bashed out the airbrick, grabbed the chick, found a box, tried it in a couple of locations, the parents did start to feed it, but it died on the second night. Hopefully this time I got to it quicker and caused it less stress.
Blimey.
