From "All about birds" website: All the European Starlings in North America descended from 100 birds set loose in New York's Central Park in the early 1890s. The birds were intentionally released by a group who wanted America to have all the birds that Shakespeare ever mentioned. Today, more than 200 million European Starlings range from Alaska to Mexico, and many people consider them pests.A recent Hoards article a Starling can consume up to 50% of its bodyweight in grain a day. I immediately want to call this bird a pig but that just confuses me.
Secure Covers do a great job in the fight against birds like these. (Crows and Turkeys too!)
