What we have in the states is the European starling which was introduced to North America for whatever reason. Boy, would I like to get my hands on whoever made that decision!

If I had starlings that looked like this...

maybe I would be more tolerant. Just like Australia has a ton of robins (see previous post), Africa has a multitude of starlings and some are pretty spectacular.

Myna birds are part of the starling family and, just like mynas, starlings have a talent for imitating not only other bird songs, but other things as well. Maybe if the starlings talked to me like this Myna bird, I'd also be more excited to see them.
