European Starlings are not popular birds. They are an invasive species and aggressive to native birds. No friend to farmers either as they raid their crops. They sure are photogenic though.

They do have “Attitude” sometimes, and overwhelm by being so numerous.

But they can be quite musical, and their murmurations are beautiful.

I don’t think that there are good and bad species. If some species arrive to a new place and thrive, it means this species have known to adapt, despite the native species had advantage because they were there before. That is evolution. Also, if we talk about invasive species, which one is the most invasive one, without any doubt? We the humans 🙂
