Abstract: | The present study proposes to review the habits of the starling (Sturnus vulgaris L.) in captivity; it presents the situation of some orphan chicks retrieved from the Copou Gardens in Iasi, and concludes with the latter’s being released, subsequent to their acquisition of autonomous feeding behaviour. The article refers to the rearing and nursing of the Sturnus vulgaris (L.) subjects in captivity, covering the whole period, from nest extraction until release, and discusses the adaptability to life in periodical contact with man, suggesting the positive aspect of the relationship subjects-experimenter. |
