Starlings are small to medium-sized birds; their plumage is typically dark with a metallic sheen. Most species nest in holes, laying blue or white eggs. Many Asian species of Starlings, particularly the larger ones, are called
Mynas.
They are very comfortable living around people and have no problem nesting on, or inside, buildings. Starlings nest in cavities (holes) and are very aggressive when looking for a good spot. If a starling gets to a good spot first, they easily defend it from other bird species. If the starling finds the cavity already occupied, it will often destroy eggs or kill nestlings of the other birds. Starlings will also fight other birds for a good feeding spot.Starlings are known to live 15 years. They often return to the same nest every year.
Predators of starlings include hawks, falcons, owls, snakes, cats, and other bird predators.
