DESCRIPTION
- The starling was brought to New York City from
Europe in the 1890s. During the last hundred years, starlings have spread through most of
North America.
- There are now so many starlings and they are so
aggressive, they have hurt other birds, like the eastern bluebirds, by taking over their
nesting spots.
- Starlings like to look for food on their own during
the day, but the evenings they party! You’ll often find hundreds of them gathered
together in a large, noisy group.
