    We have a lot of Starlings young and old around the feeder.
    Is this a young Starling.....i don’t think so.
    He or she is a greedy sod………..but we love them all.

          Definitely a young Starling, they start off grey then brown, then half brown and black and finally black.:smile:

            Please identify this animal or bird by its voice. Fox? Parakeet?
