@animalculum Great that science asks this now.
They also do it sometimes with humans (like ravens). When I was a little child, we had saved a #starling, raised the bird by hand and released it to the garden. And later, he was always around me when I called his name. I remember, we walked and talked with one another (I tried starling's chatter). He introduced me to his wife and the nestlings, but also to other starlings from his group, as if I were part of them.
The American Acclimatization Society was founded in 1871 to introduce European animals and plants into North America.
In 1890, they released one hundred European Starlings into New York’s Central Park, part of an insane plan to bring the “Birds of Shakespeare” to the New World.
Their scheme went horribly awry. Within a decade, tens of millions of invasive starlings aggressively competed for nesting cavities, causing the collapse of some native bird populations.
Nevertheless, Starlings are gorgeously iridescent, like this one, seen shimmering in Bette Davis Picnic Area.

Der Star verwandelt den #SilentSunday in einen #ShinySunday, einfach so.
Some photos from Monday's walk with @vivia in the neighbourhood.
Featuring: a sparkling starling on a tree, a butterfly in a field of flowers, a hooded crow on a tree, and a tiny wasp nest on the stem of a flower.
It was the year I refused to look at my own reflection.

And here's a beautiful starling that was surprisingly not too bothered by my presence.
Shimmer shimmer ya, shimmy yam, shimmy yay

Osa kottaraisista voi talvehtia Etelä-Suomessa, kun marjasato on runsas ja ruokaa riittää.
Some starlings can winter in Southern Finland when the berries are plentiful and there is enough food.
