I did some digging since I remembered reading that starlings need a high protein diet. I came across a barely active forum that has some good info:

Recommended Adult Starling and Sparrow Diet | Starlingchat II - A home for Starling families

Source: Starling and Sparrow Rescue and Care Adult starlings require a high animal protein diet and the

Looks like some others here have also fed mealworms and waxworms along with the diet. I haven't heard of supplementing with tums, but if the vet recommended it they would know better than me.
