Meanwhile, this chick is in a cat basket outside in the garden. We have
opened the top and it is moving around.

But after that.........what can we do?


In the 1960's when I was at a private nursery school in the countryside the
owner hand fed a starling. You won't like this next bit....he purchased
maggots from a fishing shop, popped them in his own mouth, chewed them up
and spat them into a jam jar lid. Then he fed the mixture to the chick using
a matchstick or coctail stick
