Saved this lil tiny one from falling off my roof today

I heard a weird tapping/rattling sound coming from my roof, and when I went to see, I saw this little nestling inches from the edge and about to tumble themself off.

I managed to catch them mid-fall. I pulled out a ladder, climbed up the roof with em, and got em safely back into their nest.

Pretty sure it's a starling.

That's how you get the ability to fly. Maybe Boeing is basing their plane design a little too much on Nature.
