Starling: 1 fledged juvenile and 1 dead juvenile of the same age were found in the stove at Toechtamhor another was alive in the flue and the baffle had to be removed to set it free. Did the dead one die of starvation? We do not know when the last time the stove was lit but definitely within the previous two weeks. Both the living birds flew strongly towards the roost-cave when released.
