The Common Starling, also known as the European Starling, is a medium-sized, iridescent black bird with a short tail and pointed wings. It is native to Eurasia and has been introduced to other regions, including North America, where it is considered an invasive species. Common Starlings are known for their highly vocal and melodious songs, as well as their remarkable murmurations, in which large flocks create intricate and synchronized aerial displays. They are omnivorous and forage for insects, fruits, and seeds. Common Starlings are adaptable and can be found in a wide range of habitats, including urban areas, farmlands, and open woodlands.
