A beautiful bird display!

[Catherine]

Starlings are very clever. Here in the city, they go after garbage bags. They work as a group and can rip open a bag and get at the food within. They also eat insects and seeds. They will go after vegetable gardens, but there are no many of those in the city.

I am amazed to hear about how they live in their normal world. They are a clever bird so I can see how they would go after corn and get it.

They winter in England and fly to the rest of Europe for the summer.
Here they would have no sense of where to migrate to so no wonder they just stay all year round. Since they do not migrate, they do not form big flocks. They have certainly acclimatized here, but it is sad that we don't see the beautiful flight displays. Maybe people would respect them more if we did.
