J Darcy 5,871 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 The Starling, in full plumage is a real gem of a bird.......I often think that, if they were rare then they would be noticed and respected more. As it is, people just see a black "bird" that sits of the telegraph wires making daft noises!! I often thought about looking for one to hand rear, but its time...sadly time stops me from doing such projects, though i should imagine having a tame Starling would be a great experience. I actually rescued a youngster from behind the fire several years ago, but after force feeding it for a day i let it fly free again....perhaps i should have kept him..... Still, we should'nt cage a wild bird......JD p.s Kay, get a hamster guard for the front of the dyson!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

littlefish 549 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Lovely birds - I like to watch them bathing as a flock in puddles, all flapping and squawking. Also swarming in formation at dusk in the navy and pink sky, before just suddenly disappearing into the tree they roost in, it really is quite spectacular and a pleasure to watch.

Guest Bubbleduck Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Went out shooting today and there must have been several hundred starlings in a nearby tree, the chattering was amazing. After 20 minutes or so they all took off and the sky went dark, it sounded just like thunder. They're definitely not rare round here lol! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
