Starlings are not native to the Western Hemisphere. They were brought in from Europe in the 19th Century, and we haven’t been able to get rid of them.
And ooooooooh, would it ever be nice to be able to get rid of them! Pains in the butt!
So are blue jays and mockingbirds but those don’t flock in the same numbers as starlings. Our yard is black every morning with starlings.
