European Starling
(Sturnus vulgaris)
Sometimes described as gregarious and aggressive, this bird loves to flock with its own kind on the ground, or in the air, including those fabulous soaring and swooping murmurations of hundreds or thousands of them in perfect, agile precision. But get two of them at a feeder and all hell can break loose as they squabble mightily for the best perches, as the two pictured above are demonstrating in my backyard.
Please comment if you wish.
