Definitely a juvenile starling. Whenever a new "crop" of babies fledges here, they always come to my waterfowl pen and raid the bowls of food! They poop on everything, make a racket and drive me nuts.
Feed your "brat" mealworms, little chunks of fresh fruit, chunks of hard boiled or scrambled egg, and bits of whole grain bread dunked in plain yogurt.

In Europe, where starlings are native, for centuries people have kept them as pets. They can even learn to mimic speech a little, although not as well as parrots or budgies.

Long ago, I read that starlings got to North America because some idiots in the late 19th century thought it would be cool to have all of the birds mentioned in Shakespeare's works, in the U.S. So they let starlings go in Central Park in New York City. Pretty much all of the starlings we have, came from those "ancestral" birds!

Why did you bring the bird inside? It wasn't in any danger. That is a fledgling.

A fledgling is a young bird who has left the nest to learn how to fly and survive. While they are hopping around on the ground, attempting flights, their parents still take care of them. Their parents also teach them survival skills. By removing the fledgling from care of its parents, you have significantly reduced its chances of survival. When it doubt, always leave a wild bird alone. If you think an area is dangerous due to a dog or cat, put the bird in a tree or something. But do not remove it from the area, as the parents are there, just out of sight.

If you find a baby bird that is not fully feathered, then there is a problem. But 95% of baby birds that are 'rescued' are young fledglings who were doing just fine with their parents care.

The OP says that the bird was injured. Maybe she was right, maybe not, but it was her impression that leaving him meant leaving him to die. I agree, a lot of wild animals get "rescued" by well-meaning but uninformed people that don't understand how the natural system works. Of course, does anybody know what percentage of fledglings die before ever achieving flight? It is my impression that that is probably their most vulnerable stage. Nest sites can be nearly inaccessible to non-flying predators, and flight is a bird's best defense, but a lot of the time (to borrow a line from a recent movie), "a downed dragon is a dead dragon."
