Fledgling Starling making a clicking noise (1 Viewer)

[StarlingHope]

help, i found a baby starling about a month ago. the baby has finally made it to fledgling hood. but now the baby is hardly peeping at all, and making this weird click noise when ever it gets really excited (which is usually around feeding time lol) i am concern that the baby has fluid in its lungs because i feed it a couple drops of water ever couple of hours. is the baby sick or is it simply just growing up?

I've heard wild ones clicking, IIRC. Sounds kinda like a geiger counter on TV.

Hi I have a lot of Starlings in my garden feeding on the suet in the winter and they also make that clicking noise I assume it is part of their call , and they all seem very healthy.

I'm pretty sure it's a contact call; try "clicking" back to it.|=)|

I forgot to say; don't forget that Starlings are great mimics. They do mobile phones and car alarms really well, so you might get some more strange noises soon.

What a coincidence.My son and I heard a clicking noise yesterday but we couldn't trace it although we we were sure it was a bird.I checked the tele.radio and my hearing aid, but the noise carrid on intrmitently for at least an hour and remained a mystery.I must try clicing back.

maurice It's not tinnitus !
