The feathers are not dull, they are full of colour with tips of beige. This guy has been hanging around for a few days on his own. Today his friends came back
This guy liked the suet, look at that fluffy bum.
On the other end is a wicked looking beak.........these guys are in the snow bank because it has made it easy to get to yet another suet feeder
The sun was not out so its hard to show their colour I will see if I can find someone else's picture. Here it is from the web. I have no idea who's picture it is but want to thank them. I am not sure if it has been enhanced but if you get a Starling in the right light these colours do appear, those peacock colours
Keeping his feet warm, one at a time
Enjoy this video of these amazing birds.

If you have ever stopped to listen to them, you will note that they have a beautiful song. They tend to pick up other bird song and apply it to their own. They are noisy birds when flocked together but if you see them in a tree and take the time to listen...you will see what I mean. I love the little starlings. I feed them daily as they are protein eating birds and are hungry with so much snow around.
Yes, they do mimic......I like them and today they got bread with bacon dripping. I thought that would be a nice treat for them. The Crows like it too. Usually they get bread and peanut butter..........I have had one Starling that stays when the others leave.....maybe he is sick? Anyway he is being well fed while he is resting up.
Gorgeous! Truly loved this post Janice ;o) Hugs ;o)
