STARLINGS

    Starlings

    Starlings: What you need to know

    Identifying Characteristics

    • Starlings generally measure from 7½ – 9⅛ inches in length, with a wingspan from 12 – 17 inches, and a weight of 58 – 101 grams
    • They have glossy black plumage with an iridescent green or purple sheen, black eyes and a long pointy bill
    • They have a short squared tail and form a triangular shape in flight

    Active Season

    • In late summer and fall, Starlings form large flocks and roost in large deciduous trees
    • In early winter, when trees lose their leaves, they roost in areas that provide protection from wind and cold

    Interesting Facts

    • Starlings can enter a round hole as small as 1⅝ inches in diameter
    • Their bill turns yellow during breeding season and their plumage develops white spots during the winter

    Cause for Concern

    • Each year, starlings cause an estimated $800 million in damages to agricultural crops
    • They pose a serious health risk from the disease organisms that grow in accumulations of starling droppings, feathers, and debris under a roost
