I have a 6yr old sick sparrow.She has yellowish, runny poop. She is also sleeping a lot more. She is very hungry and drinking, more than usual. She gets a varied diet throughout the day along with birdseed. I have been trying canned pumpkin, rice and eggs. Her sister is fine. Any ideas?

The best thing would be to bring your sparrow to the vet.
Do make sure that she is kept warm, monitor eating and drinking (which you seem to already be doing), and let her have a lot of rest.
Hope she will be OK. You can go to this site and post your concerns to. It's not only about starlings but also other wild birds such as sparrows.
