Historical Description | Starlings (Sturnidae) are one of the most species-rich families of songbirds that belong to the passerine family. Starlings are small to medium-sized songbirds with strong feet. Their plumage is varied from typically black or dark in color to multi-colored species. Most species have a slightly metallic to strongly iridescent metallic sheen and build their nests mainly in cavities in which they lay pale light blue or white eggs, which are often speckled. The usually very sociable birds often appear in flocks and are characterized by a mostly powerful and direct flight. They like to live in open landscapes with light tree cover, and in some regions of the world also in forests. Starlings are originally only found in Africa and Eurasia. However, several European and Asian species have been introduced to North America, Australia and New Zealand. |
