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

    Reverse image search gives me a Spotless starling.

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

      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.

      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.
