@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.

European Starling that was foraging with a few of its buddies near a playground in Amersfoort we saw on our walk through the center.

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.
yesterday the birds were too fast to grab any pictures but today they were more patient with me.

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

Leider mit der kleinen Sony nur mit digitalem Zoom erwischt, deshalb ist das Foto nicht ganz scharf. Aber das Kerlchen war so schön anzusehen
