I remember a field trip my kids made into Boston many years ago. They were in their early teens. I came home from work and heard the story. My Daugher and Son found a baby starling on the sidewalk. What they did next surprised me. They brought it to a vet. They sat in the waiting room untill it was their turn. They presented the bird to the doctor and I'm sure he gave them a diagnosis that was puzzling at best. He took the bird and sent them on their way. At the payment window they recieved a "No charge". I really think good things about this doctor for taking the time for the kids. Certainly not a selfish individual.
