I have a Maltese dog and when I groom her I leave her for out for the starlings to line their nests and it's so funny to see them select the best of it for their pads. I love to imagine they are in the lap of comfort and cosy and warm. If we get a storm I go out to see if any babies have been toppled out of their homes. Our God is wonderfull for sure. I'll be digging the garden in April and may to be sure they get good supply of noodlely worms. From noeleen in my ireland where the grass is greener than green .....still
I have been watching this bird since my childhood.They are seen in kashmir making small flocks and land in fields and worms and other insects to peck at.The make their nests on old willow trees in the wholes or abandoned nests of other birds,like wood peckers etc.They sing in a fascinating voice.Love starling.
Gods chickens dont forget to feed the poor devils when the frost comes they cant get into them wheelie bins . They are adorable I love all nature we must help them in winter their babies will be coming in spring. Lovely video thank you . From noeleen in my ireland where the grass is greener than green.....still.
I love starlings! I put peanuts and seed put everyday to feed the birds and squirrels. And occasionally a rat will crawl on top of the fence to lol but I see starlings a lot lol
I was trying to remember a documentary I loved as a child which was about Ethiopia and presented by Jeffery someone. Through Google I discovered it was Wildlife Safari to Ethiopia, 1970, presented by Jeffery Boswall. The only thing I could find on TH-cam with Jeff is this, which I'm enjoying, and was posted one hour ago - when I started searching.
“So Adonai created the large sea-creatures and every living creature that moves and swarms in the water, according to their kinds. He also created every winged creature according to its kind. And Adonai saw that it was good.” Genesis 1:21 CSB
I love these old nature docrumentarys!,,sure,the picture isn't as good as the modern one's,but so much easier to understand!👌 could these be digitally upgraded somehow?
The birds eye view 👀 crazy little devils love their mimicking gregarious nature attributing to their corrordinating dancing in the sky millions of clacking bird brains
I asked them once if they were cold in the rain and they said they were like fish. I didn't know about their migrations over water. Just recently found out the name of these birds that talk to me in my yard every day.
Though releasing starlings in the USA was a disastrous idea, we should not cull them because of the mistakes of another. We can find other ways to limit their reach in native bird population. But it's easy to shoot to kill than think. That's what's wrong with this world.
Come back in a thousand years, what is now non native will be native both here and around the world. They would have gotten to NA with or without mans help.
So time marches on. In the second decade of the new millennium these birds are now on the Red list in the UK. Living in an area with virtually no nature at all these, plus two fat woodpigeons are the only visitors to our bird table..They love mealworms so FEED THE BIRDIES ! But not mealworms on ground feeders because hedgehogs eat them and they make their bones crumble or something ghastly.
I raised one and I’m terrified because it ran up my body and pinched my ear, than my lip idk I wanna let it go, it didn’t hurt it’s still young but when it get big big what than, I had that movie on my mind when I see that bird face
Wow...I love starlings and human beings are truly...epically...Dumb...through no fault of their own, starlings have made "conquest" of many places...outside of their original home, in Europe, thanks to unhappy humans who took them along....sigh...humans have created all the imbalances in the natural world, every single one. How do we make amends?🤔🦋
I believe this was made in 1970 as part of the BBC Natural History Unit's 'Private Lives' series. Sorry, but I don't have a copy of "The Private Life of the Street Pigeon".
All these commenters not realizing these are the most invasive and destructive birds on the planet. Yes, they are beautiful, but they push out all the other native species and pillage farms and crops.
Sorry, but I am Not impressed. On, or about 1960 when I was a teenager I was watching TV national news with my Dad. It showed an Airline passenger plane taking off at the airport in Boston. A flock of Starling like you depicted in the beginning of your video flew into the plane's airway jamming both engines. The plane promptly went down and crashed. 62 people died. True story. Daniel
So what are we to do, Daniel? Have you made this comment on the videos of geese, waterfowl, migratory birds, eagles, seagulls, etc. which have also caused aircraft engine trouble and crashes, causing hundreds of deaths? No. For some reason you have to mention the incident in 1960 as if all the world's troubles are the fault of starlings. Pilots are trained to avoid migratory birds and murmurations, but sometimes that's not possible. It is a rare occurrence which you describe.
Hmm. l wonder what decade this was made in? The early 70's? Anyway, starlings are starting to die out. l think it's because of 'geo engineering'. The barium, strontium, and aluminium must make them, and the insects that they eat sick. Bloody aurible!

My starlings who say full paragraphs of conversations are watching this intently pecking at the screen
I have a rescue one and someone taught it the word boobies and it's so funny 🤣
Lovely starling bird.love from Pakistan starling winter come Pakistan I wait to see flying.
This was awesomely informative! Thanks so much for sharing!
Outstanding!

brilliant thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for uploading this!! 💛
I have lived in southern Spain now for twenty five years. Where have all the starlings gone? I miss them so much.
Come to Capistrano…. We have swarms displaying murmuration flight by the Swallows!
To the UK? We watched them tonight at the nature reserve. They love to roost in the reeds. We watched the murmuration.
@FrankieSinclair lump in my throat hearing this. But saw a pair of yellow Oriol today!

This is the first time I've ever posted something on TH-cam and it looks like I've used my daughter's account. Tony
Terrific viewing 110%
I had no idea they were in Australia and New Zealand now. I may get to see them one day.
Retro bliss

Amen! Indeed!
I bet if you built special starling homes for them they would leave the buildings and cities alone.
A Starling documentary about Britains would be remarkably similar.
Great stuff

In kashmir,starling is popularly called Chinihangur for their colour.Chini in kashmiri means something like charcoal.

I feel sorry for them here in Tacoma, obviously intelligent and they see all the human violence and druggy bs every day.
Really interesting! I’d like to know what that jazzy music is at the beginning and end

i agree!
Yes. We should try reasoning with them, right? Idiot.
Come back in a thousand years, what is now non native will be native both here and around the world. They would have gotten to NA with or without mans help.
Stop living in your fairytale world....Yes, the Starlings SHOULD be culled, They are killing our native birds.
@@sarahok6589 I kill Starlings all the time.

Reminds me of the Hitchcock movie “The Birds”

Lol so that is where my cherries went 😅
Let’s talk about roasting and eating starlings!
How do they taste??
Australian Budgerigars are almost as bad when it comes to flying in flocks but not quite as elegant, just a lot greener.
What is the vintage of this documentary? 1970s? Are you able to post, “The Private Life of the Pidgeon,” from the same period?
I believe this was made in 1970 as part of the BBC Natural History Unit's 'Private Lives' series. Sorry, but I don't have a copy of "The Private Life of the Street Pigeon".
Is nobody going to talk about 3:52
He pooped?
hola, quisiera saber si existen más documentales de Jeffery ?
Pamela Benicio no se amiga
Leather jackets???
Or Yellow Jackets???
We understand each other
Do they still exist or gone?
Starlings migrate to Kashmir,the Switzerland of Asia,in March or early April.
Ozark anyone?

Solsort's sang er en af de smukkeste sang, jeg
Jeg ved. her i norden, samt "käki" på finsk, men den smukkeste fuglesang selfölgeligt er som jeg ved er
Love these bird and all burds so vocal shame they are being killed off by carelessness and greed in the UK
Starlings are terrible.
Tell that to the relatives of the 62 people that died in a Plane crash caused by a flock of Starlings. Daniel
Take a look at wildfilmhistory.org/person/77/Jeffery+Hugh+Richard+Boswall.html for some other old wildlife films
So basically everywhere the British colonized, there are starling haha
We copy a favourite song 🎵
All these commenters not realizing these are the most invasive and destructive birds on the planet. Yes, they are beautiful, but they push out all the other native species and pillage farms and crops.
That’s sad. What about them eating Yellow Jackets???
@@annalisa14 what about it?
I wonder how ornithologists think about your true statement here…. !
How ironic. On the Red List now. Sad.
I love starlings. They are welcome at my residence anytime.

Has this bird story any similarityes to people called targeted individuals?
What is the point watching this then

How much do you charge to haunt a house? It's only two rooms. It's an outhouse and I need you in the basement to scare the shit out of people.
