The incredible robotic sounds of the Starling 🎶
Listen to these incredible sounds form the Starling …
Is it real ?
Starlings have diverse and complex vocalizations and have been known to embed sounds from their surroundings into their own calls, including car alarms and human speech patterns. The birds can recognize particular individuals by their calls and are the subject of research into the evolution of human language.
Starlings are small to medium-sized passerine birds in the family Sturnidae, common name of Sturnid.
The Sturnidae are named for the genus Sturnus, which in turn comes from the Latin word for starling, sturnus.
The family contains 128 species which are divided into 36 genera.
The starling species familiar to most people in Europe and North America is the common starling, and throughout much of Asia and the Pacific, the common myna is indeed common.
