Interesting Facts About Starlings
Starlings are famous for forming massive flocks that create sweeping aerial patterns called murmurations in the evening sky. They are exceptional vocal mimics capable of imitating the calls of dozens of other bird species and ambient environmental sounds. When foraging on grass, they use a technique called open-bill probing to part soil roots and uncover earthworms.
