Kay 3,709 Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I love them, i've heard they can start mimicking human speach if kept captive. I was going to ask if it was starlings that will mimic other bird calls , I find them really interesting birds & its the first time I have had them in the garden so I am keen to try to keep the shrubs just cut back enough so they dont go elsewhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
