Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I like starlings, they seem happy little birds and have beutiful plumage which seems to range from black to petro; blue in some light, plus I like the way the flocks zoom around the sky in interesting patterns.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Me too :-) The flying flocks are amazing - I can watch them for hours. We saw a gorgeous little one in Kingston last summer. He was obviously used to people, and he was sitting on a fence. I chatted to him (I know I'm mad) and he was quite interested.
