Common Starling COMMON STARLINGSturnus vulgaris
Description
Starlings are 8 inches in length, and have a wingspan of 8-10 inches. In the summer, starlings are black with an iridescent purple and green sheen and a yellow bill. In the winter, their white speckles become more prominent. Juveniles are mousy brown with a pale chest, and lack the spotted breast of the adults.
Distribution
Starlings are native to Europe and Asia, but have been introduced worldwide.
Habitat
Their typical habitats are open woods, cultivated land and urban areas.
Diet
Starlings feed on insects, larvae, slugs, snails, earthworms and centipedes. They bustle along the ground, probing and opening their beaks in the ground until they find invertebrates. They also feed on berries and seeds.
 Behavior
Starlings are one of the most familiar birds in city areas, gathering in large numbers (sometimes millions) to feed and to roost in buildings or trees. Northern populations migrate south in the winter, joined by many birds from the east in the summer.
Reproduction
Starlings breed in colonies or in separate pairs during April and May. They normally rear one brood a year in holes in trees or walls, and under roof tiles, but a few have a second brood. The male makes a nest of grass and straw, which the female lines with feathers.
The clutch of four to seven blue eggs hatch after 12-13 days, and the chicks fledge after three weeks. After leaving the nest, the chicks continue to follow their parents about, begging for food.
 Conservation statusNon-native/Not-protected
Voice
Starlings are highly vocal and both males and females sing. Their song is a chattering, whistling chorus, but they have many other calls and often mimic other birds and sounds.
