    You should see the starling parents with two teenagers that’s shown up at my feeders. What gluttons! They’re rolling through dried mealworms like they’re candy!

This bird may be one of the many species that can store sperm from many partners and when she has finished that, she can use the best quality, five star stuff, to fertilise the eggs. Our flycatchers, for example, can do this.
