Update: The consensus seems from Lemmy and my friends seems to be European Starling. Thank you so much everyone. I was concerned on what kind of diet this fella should be fed, looks like I have somewhere to start now.

Having issues contacting the wildlife shelter at the moment

    Starling! Our neighbors raised an abandoned fledgling and he decided the world was his best friend, and made him take us on car rides every day, as well as going for walks with the dog and sitting on my head. They’re very personable and have unique personalities.

    Reverse image search gives me a Spotless starling.

    But if it is a new species I call dibs on naming it: Grumpy featherfluffle.

      That’s a European bird, we’re in the northeastern US. But we can name them Grumpy Featherfluffle anyways 😄

        European Starlings were introduced in the US about 100 years ago by a misguided fool in Manhattan. They are invasive, but absolutely everywhere around the US at this point and that’s definitely a European Starling fledgling.

      Na, that’s fantail (nz bird). Grumpy little fuckers - they even yell at you and get somehow are also really social with people.

        Fantails buzz around you because of the small insects that get disturbed by a person’s presence. Basically they are enjoying an easy lunch when you walk through the Bush.
