Around here, after two or three days from their first flight, the
fledgling crows are easy to tell from the adults because they are the
ones flapping their wings with their beaks agape. LOL
Recently, a mailer from a bird shop contained an almost transparent
sticker of a humming bird fot the window. Seems to work, since there
has been no hits since putting it on the window. The Starlings just
fledged so we will see about that. Those young Starlings are not very
bright. LOL
