Starlings are known to mimic sounds, and earlier today, this one cleared his throat and went to town. How many species can you hear?

Our Planet Week Day 1: Among the Stars.

It's quite poetically sad that I missed Earth Day because I was in college in the city. I'd much rather be with the birds.

BOTD: European Starling
Tumblr media
Photo: Allan Hack
"Often regarded as a pest, the Starling wins our grudging admiration for its adaptability, toughness, and seeming intelligence. Brought to North America in 1890, it has spread to occupy most of the continent, and is now abundant in many areas. Sociable at most seasons, Starlings may gather in immense flocks in fall and winter. When the flocks break up for the breeding season, males reveal a skill for mimicry, interrupting their wheezing and sputtering songs with perfect imitations of other birds."

They haven’t been visiting in a long time,
but along with the cold and snow, a large group of Starlings has found its way to the yard too. I do find their photos quite entertaining but truth be told, I could live without them pooping all over the place, trashing the bird baths and eating everything in sight… They kind of remind me of the Bumpus Hounds from A Christmas Story 🤪

I said my first word, "besos!" Besos means kisses in Spanish, and my mommy says it to me everyday! Usually she kisses my beak while she says it, which is why it was the easiest word for me to pick up! I'm so cute! 😇💋
