Yeah, they're one of the UK 's most common birds yet very few people know that they can do this. These little birds are so intelligent and deserve much more respect. Go Starlings!
Just imagine them all singing come fly with me in unisong and flight. Or singing we are the champions while the birds of feathers stick together. Thank you had to say something.
It would have been a preposterous idea then, but with films like Jaws, a Quiet Place, or even Snakes on the Plane (I know🙄), with a great script it would work.
@@mbkillops I noticed our transfer European starlings here in America don't have such a speckled white on black breast. I wonder if they're just as good mimics.
Thank you so much 💓 his mum told him every day he was her Gorgeous Gorgeous Boy and when he said it back she said "Yes you are." I miss that little bird.
Such an elegant species. Even though they are considered invasive, I still love to watch them flocking in the fall. It's like watching a living kaleidoscope.
Hi! Where are they considered invasive? I'm argentinian and I've been reading about that starlings are invasive here but I'd like to know where else it was introduced
And we are amazed when a parrot says “Polly want a cracker”. This bird is even more amazing as is the lyrebird! The lyrebird makes sounds like car alarms, sings and even makes the sound of a lumberjacks chainsaw!
The sad thing is not many people know they can do this and in the USA they're classed as an invasive species(vermin) and not given any protection despite the 1000's of tonnes of destructive insects they eat a year!
I love starlings! I had one years ago. Great talker and he could fly free outside and then come to the door to be let in. smarter than a chimp and so much fun.
AWWWWWW HELLLLLLLL NAWWWWW! He starts to talk like that at night! My ass moving! He has perfect diction! What will you do when he says... "Wait until they go to sleep! Where's my SICKLE!" 😱🗡
This little Rascal knew if he was being filmed. It sounds weird but he knew if you pointed anything at him he wouldn't talk. I had to catch him unawares.
Wow what a lovely voice and clear. I never knew that starlings can speak, clever birds. And it imitates the lady's voice which is beautiful, too. A pleajure to listen to, bless🤗. Dear lady teach him to sing Happy birthday... it'll be fun👏. Wonderul video.
I'm out here with my Starling friends listening. Sadly..a group of ignorant motorists think it's amusing to Rev their engines as loud as possible when they see me out with the birds feeding and communicating with them 😢 Why educate yourselves or teach your children valuable lessons when it's so easy to be an a## h### 😮 Awesome video. Now I'll go I side where I can hear it.. unfortunately they can't and they do enjoy it !! Thanks so much for sharing !!
I potty trained my 21 year old parrot and A robin who loved me so much she refused to leave that my parrot Buddy named Little Biscuit. She came to us after A very bad storm. My sister was A teacher at the time she found her and gave her to me she the robin was very young and only survivor of five. Found in fall kept through the winter 2014 or 2015. Very tame would hunt me down when cleaning and be A little shoulder buddy. Her and my parrot became very good siblings. Had her on shoulder told her I loved her and she should be free. Took her outside on my shoulder and before the screen door was closed she like lightening flew back into the house through the running room and livingroom, and upstairs she flew back to her cage. It was her safe place. Most of time her and buddy had doors open on cages for freedom! If I wasn't home or in bed they go to their cage to be safe. Lost a little sparrow once who I let stay out one night it was mistake he loved me so much he crawled in my hair while I feel asleep studying! His name was Benji A sparrow! Thank you for your precious video. With little biscuit I had a very special little friend and something nobody else ever had. What? My very own little footfan. She was very special. Thanks wish everybody could love each other. Love you all very much!
They are super intelligent, funny, loving birds and since they're not native to the US you can legally keep them as pets. They are not seed eaters tho but are Softbills so you need to do your homework before bringing one home.
This chap had a mixture of fresh mashed boiled egg, soaked dry cat food, vitamins and mealworms plus fresh fruit, brown bread and fresh water all changed 4 times a day. He'd also try anything on our plates! He loved peas, spring onions and garlic and pea shoots for some reason. Any creepy crawlies especially spiders were on the menu too! Miss him every day.
@@memoryrinehart may you note all animals get aroused in some sort of fashion even dogs. Also note it most the time with birds involves more aggressive behavior an them being more affectionate. Yes it arouses them but no more then petting your dog when it has a hard on. Everyone loves on there animals different an no one’s up to T when there caring for there animals. It’s a tamed bird I see no problem in petting wherever you please. It’s not goin to be anymore confused then why it’s not able to fly across a yard it’s seeing through your window
I get 'gorgeous gorgeous boy' clearly, but not much else. Wish you would put text of what he's saying. After all, he doesn't have the mouth parts needed for correct pronunciation...;)

Wow, never knew starlings could talk and so clearly, better than parrots!
Imagine a flock of a few thousand talking like this in unison. What a great Alfred Hitchcock flick.
Yeah imagine them all calling you something really bad!....yikes
It would be a whole new type of "the birds." I can see that phone booth scene as they attack the woman, but this time so they can USE the phone!! 😂

They all say kiss kiss then do smootchie sound's😅💋😘
I like especially the inhalation mimics and the cough!
His "mum" had the cold when he picked that up....really strange...lol
@@mbkillops I noticed our transfer European starlings here in America don't have such a speckled white on black breast. I wonder if they're just as good mimics.
@@memoryrinehart those speckles appear around winter and fade around spring and they will still mimic.
I had no idea starlings can talk!
They have a habit of doing it when you're trying to watch some good on the TV....lol😄
😂… yes shu are, yes shu are, ( deep breath) good morningggg good morninggg!!!! Oh my heart, he’s adorable and clearly much loved- thank you!
Thank you so much 💓 his mum told him every day he was her Gorgeous Gorgeous Boy and when he said it back she said "Yes you are." I miss that little bird.
I find their "talk" to be more of a recording than anything or even in comparison to other birds who "talk". Highly Facinating.
i am mesmerized with starlings!
😃
Had to watch again. That "good morning" gets me everytime 🥰
Just left a reply for you on the other video Donna. Also when he poops he says "poopity poops" lol.

I didn't know Starlings were such good imitators... thats bridging on being creepy... awesome and creepy....
Amazingly close human emulation. The timbre of the woman's voice. The coughs
A litle and inconspicuous bird that ,on closer inspection,is beautiful smart and amusing.....i realy love them👌
Thank you very much!

When they imitate you they imitate everything! 😆
You sing Beautifully♥️
Amazing. Thanks.

Imagine hear this at 2 AM.

House owner: My pet died since 2 years ago... 😨
Haha 🤣
Isn't it the simple things that make our hearts soar. Why are humans so cruel. We could learn alot from our fascinating friends. But we won't.
So true!
Hi Rascal! You are so cute and I love all your precious words ❤
Aww, that's so sweet😘
Thanks Lynz that's awesome!❤️
Fantastic!🥰
What a star! Ling🤔 So pretty colors thanks!✝️
Starlings are in the same family of birds as the Mynah Bird.😊

So Cool😄
How do they pronounce the words so well 🤔 extraordinary mimics they are 😲😲😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😄👍👍🐦⬛
My boys, My boys my boys, my gorgeous boys .........this bird must watch a lot of tv
"Kiss,kiss, mwah!"
Great job saying (m) in morning, too beautiful.✝️
He likes to repeat the " gorgeous, gorgeous boy" part an awful lot...lol
That's what his "mum" says every morning before letting him out and it's her voice he imitates.
I have coach loads every day come To my garden,the noise you would not believe..
Lol...I know, they're greedy little buggers too.
2:59 it imitates a cough?! LOL.

Think its a mynah bird not sterling gee I wonder? I use To have one! Beak is the same! Awesome he is!
Definitely a European Starling. They're one of the UK's most common birds yet very few know they can mimic.
Watch "Bird Tricks." She says you're not supposed to stroke a bird on the body except for the head...It causes arousal and is reserved for its mate.
I know that's the case with parrots, is it all birds?
@@sjsisjsjks I think that's what she said...
Read Acts 2:38 Acts 22:16 Mark 16:16
