Groups of starlings have been seen more often by observers during the passing week, no longer is it a rare case to see them. The most famous harbingers-of-springs are here and will make themselves heard soon enough. With a metallic glossy plumage and yellow beak, this beautiful bird isn’t the first to arrive at the nesting place, but its curious nature and varied songs has made this bird a symbol of youthful spring. Who else would entwine surrounding sounds so skillfully? Its song depends mostly on what it hears whilst it is growing up, which is why the sounds of civilization end up in the tunes of starlings that live close to humans.
