Starling Noise

You want to avoid feeding birds in a way starlings can get at it too easily this time of year.




Otherwise you get this noise, which gets a bit much. The 1min clip starts of with the friendly chirp of a sparrow, before quickly descending into a starling-fest. Starlings are communal birds that synchronise their single breeding attempt. Which means all their chicks come out at about the same time and beg for food, and the adults bring the chicks to a good food source. Don’t be that source if you don’t want to hear this…
