From The Warminster Herald, Saturday 24th May 1873:
During the past week timber merchants have been hauling timber the five miles from Longleat estate to Warminster Station. In one of the trees a pair of starlings had built their nest and hatched their young. It had been hauled in the usual manner, the young birds still remaining in it and apparently uninjured. The strangest part remains to be told – on the following day the old birds discovered the whereabouts of their young and continued feeding at regular intervals.
