| The Starling L 19-22cm (7.4-8.6") breeds in great numbers in farmland, gardens, deciduous woodland and groves. The Starlings gathers in spectacular communal roosts after the breeding period to seek food at fields, plantations and tang banks, and stays overnight in reed wetlands. The Starling is recognised by it's black plumage covered with white-yellow speckles, and the dark feathers shows a fantastic glossy green/blue/violet colour. The tail is relative short and the bill is long and pointed. The Starling doesn't jump but walks with a bobbing head. The sexes is pretty similar, but during summertime the male has a yellow bill with a blue-grey basis, while the female has a white-yellow basis. |
