Starling’s startling rescue from behind boiler

Bird flaps off to freedom

The RSPCA rescued a starling which was stuck behind a boiler on Friday (14 November).

The bird had managed to get down the flue and behind the boiler in a bungalow on Westbury Court, Hedge End, Southampton. The first the homeowners knew of the starling was when they saw insulation material on their table and floor.
