Description
Common starlings have iridescent plumage..Starlings imitate a variety of avian species and have a repertoire of about 15 to20 distinct imitations. They also imitate a few sounds other than those of wild birds. The calls of abundant species, calls that are simple in frequency structure and show little amplitude modulation, are preferentially imitated. There are local dialects of mimicked sounds. Starlings have also been known to imitate other man-made environmental sounds, such as phone boxes and cars.
