I just looked that up. What a beautiful bird!
yeah they are hard to care for! but its rewarding when they get released back into the wild! I just released a beautiful European Starling.
I have always found dealing with injured birds very difficult/stressful. They seem so fragile but can bite so hard! Thankfully, we are lucky enough to have an avian hospital/sanctuary to take them in.
that is beautiful, i almost got to rehabilitate on but it died before the person who found it could get to me :(
