32 Starling

• A group of Starlings is called a: Murmuration.
• An interesting thing about starlings is their beaks turn black in the winter.  I am so used to seeing them with yellow beaks that I didn't know what they until I read up on them.  
• These birds re very prolific and are not thought of well because the damage they can do to crops and fruit. 
• They are a very beautiful bird and ate seeds and tallow feeders.  They puff themselves up when the wind blows and it is cold.

 

• This Murmuration was feeding under the feeder at Melanie's house.  You can see one of the starlings beaks wasn't fully black.
