Large flocks typical of this species can be beneficial to agriculture by controlling invertebrate pests; however, starlings can also be pests themselves when they feed on fruit and sprouting crops Starlings may also be a nuisance through the noise and mess caused by their large urban roosts. Introduced populations in particular have been subjected to a range of controls, including culling, but these have had limited success, except in preventing the colonization of Western Australia.

Aren’t they parastes as well, laying their eggs in other birds’ nests? When the sun hits them right, their irridecence is stunning. Nice series, H.J.

  They are not parasitic, but they could carry parasites harmful to other birds or themselves. Thank you, Jane. 🙂
