now imagine taking a walk in some spooky woods and coming across a starling telling you to "come here" and then saying "whatcha doin whatcha doin whatcha doin"
If oyu lsiten closly to ther song, you can hear lot of other bird sounds in there :) so sometimes they can fool you. There lot of Kestrel in my area so they make that sounds too and sometimes fool me too ^^
People MUST REALIZE That these magnificent Starlings CAN INDEED TALK,... MUCH BETTER than any parrot,...YES! I own one,.... He is 1.8 yrs old,.. his vocabulary is HUGE!
These birds are native here in the UK, I love hearing them using their natural range of clicks and whistles, it reminds me of beatboxing, they're so full of character! Got to love them!
Starlings are 100% legal to have as pets in the US. They are a non-native, invasive species. Only the males learn to talk. If you want one, just tell local vets and rehabbers, and even exterminators who are often called to remove nests from gutters, siding, chimneys and other places. You want a baby not able to fly yet. They do very well on the cheapest dry dog food, soaked until it is like a sponge. Once they can feed themselves, you can give them dog food, bird seed, anything you eat for dinner (no chocolate), mealworns, bugs. They are very happy in cages, as they are quite lazy birds and as long as you give them plenty of attention, they will do well.
+Root Cellar Oh cool, I did not know that! In most songbirds it's only the males that sing. I stand corrected! My starling eats the same rice and vegetable mixture I feed my parrots, plus the smallest dog food pellets, chopped peanuts, pine nuts and a daily helping of freeze-dried mealworms.
+Root Cellar I get mine from Chubby. They supply all sorts of freeze dried bugs, takes the "yuck" out of feeding, plus that means you don't have the fuss of raising and keeping an eye on a box of live mealworms. I've got a 10% off code if you want to try them -- CHUBBY10
+Root Cellar If you time it right, you can get that discount code plus free shipping. I get a pretty big bag (two pounds, I think), but it lasts a long time, about three or four months, though with more than one starling you might not last as long. I give Rod a big handful in the evening when the parrots get their treats, and by morning the worms are all gone and he's ready for his veg.
So cute. It's interesting how their little throat puffs out when they try to speak. I don't know that I've every seen the throats of parrots puff out quite that much when they talk. The starling must live in a loving home if he has picked up such sweet phrases. I have heard of birds who will pick up nothing but swear words because that is all that is ever said around them. :(
Mine would be a mix of the sweetest baby talk plus a healthy dose of sailor mouth, not because I'd be swearing AT the bird, just because me and my roommates all swear more than we really should when we talk lol
Saved two very young chicks this spring, they had jumped ship as i think one of the parents had been killed by our resident Sparrow Hawk, (Accipiter nisus) they were not being fed & they fell out of the nesting hole looking for parents. I managed to release one but one had hit the concrete path on way down & he is a bit backward. He has since started to swear like a trouper!!. He has had me spit my coffee out with what he has been calling me lately i have never laughed so much & he beautifully times it!!, my Sturnis vulgaris is a bloody Star!!!
What a wonderful animal. Thank you for sharing him. It's always humbling when I see these birds do better impressions than I can. A fine little feathered friend. Be blessed.
well that is because this is a bird, and a person chanting about worms, handsome birds and someone named Peter would probably not be the healthiest person
Had one from a baby, just starting to get quills and had no idea what kind of bird it was, then. surprise a Starling! Said hello, his name, mimicked my laugh and cough, pecked at the keyboard and had run of the house, never put your face near one, unless wearing protective goggles. Lol.
She needs to have this bird rehabilitated back into the wild where they belong. This is very sad. Starlings love to fly in groups. The starlings in my garden hang out together. This person has kept a wild bird prisoner 😠
This video is absolutely astounding! Fabulous! And, as far as the "Worms! Worms! Worms!" lingo... MY bird just thinks it's a great "jingle" for HER favorite food! (giggle! grin!)
I recently obtobtained a baby starling. I couldn't let it die even though it's an invasive species so I decided to take care of it. I estimate he/she is only about two weeks old not flying but growing feathers. He/she is super sweet and climbs onto my lap for snuggles. Should I make plans to keep him since it's legal and hes so tame or should I continue with my plan to release? Also what age can they learn to mimic?
I just love how some people are quick to judge and ask the question why do you have a wild bird in a cage. You obviously have no knowledge of these wonderful little birds who make wonderful pets and companions, i know, i have had my bird "Beaker" for 4 years now. He was rescued at my husbands place of employment as a baby who still wasnt able to fly and a crow was tormenting the poor thing. Many dont make it in the wild. In captivity they do fantastic, and bond with there owners like Beaker has with me. He doesnt have to fight for food or worry about larger birds killing him, he has plenty of room and gets to fly freely around my house when hes not sitting on my shoulder hanging out with me and talking to me. He gets the best food, treats when he wants...etc. Hes very entertaining and the hit of the party when friends and family come over. So people, do some reading up and watch videos of these great birds, sure to put a smile on your face. :)
I agree :) Especially in the case of starlings and other wild birds since they are usually rescues who would have died without human intervention. Birds can be kept happy as pets, but it takes a lot of time, energy and in the case of the bigger parrots, money. more so than any dog or cat ive ever had. It also takes so, so much research to get it right. They are smarter than dogs, but without the wanting to please their owner attitude. It makes them a very time consuming, but rewarding pet to have.
Close your eyes and put yourself in the starlings place for about an hour or so ..as a caged pet in a society of ..hmmmm...say elephants . Maybe you will be able to see why people ask the question . They were not created for our entertainment . BTW if you have rescued him and he has no other support then it is a different thing . Legal or illegal is not the question here . Justice is the question
This is very cute and clearly this little bird is loved. But this really creeped me out! I don't know what I would do if I was walking through the house and heard someone just repeating my own voice back to me over and over and over like that!
Why is this full grown starling in a cage, im rearing two baby starlings at the moment that fell from the nest on a busy street and will release them when theyre ready. Unless this bird has imprinted onto its owner from coming out of the egg , otherwise let it go free.
I had feed a baby European starling bird and 3 days ago he are she flying back outside were he are she was born it fall out of my tree in my yard I hand rise it back too being strong and it flys by outside and makes its sounds by chirping as it flys by too say thank u and hey
Yes there is an African Grey bird who witnessed his owner’s murder committed by the wife, and recounted his last words over and over obviously stressed. You can look it up on RUclips.
I found an orphaned starling in my barn and wasn't able to nurse it, as I work away from the home, so a friend is keeping it until it can self feed. I have indoor cats so I was wondering if it could live I a cage in my barn. I live in Missouri so will the winters be too cold for it? I do have a heated tack room in the winter, but wasn't sure if it could adapt to the various temperature fluctuations...?
I have a Starling that is apx 6 weeks old.....hand fed from 2 weeks or so......he's imprinted on me and my family. He's outside during the night but flies to us all day to be fed.....we are going to have to bring him indoors-he will not survive on his own. Any tips? His name is Melvin ( #melvinthestarling )
MY STARLING HATE CAGES, SHE MAD AT ME WHEN i PUT HER IN AND TAKE HER OUTSIDE SO SHE CAN GET THE FEEL OF WHAT IS LIKE OUT SIDE WORLD BEFORE I LET HER GO NEXT SUMMER , BECAUSE I DONT WANT HER TO DEAL WITH COLD WINTER WHILE SHE SO YOUNG . I FEEL SO BAD FOR THIS BIRD HAVE TO STAY IN CAGE GOD KNOW HOW LONG BE IN THERE FOR HER OR HIM TO TAKE THAT MUCH OF HUMAN TALK .JUST THINK OF YOURSELVE BE IN JAIL THAT HOW THIS BIRD PROBABLY FEEL
Marie Dalton they are really messy, I got a cage that’s pretty easy to clean and mine manages to make it into a big mess within 4 days and every time I let her out she will sh*t everywhere, so I have to watch her when I let her out and clean after her
I have a pet Starling that was born on June 3rd Can you please let me know what EXACTLY you feed yours so I can do the same... I currently feed mine meal worms...chicken mash... and a vitamin supplemented water... what is the brand of vitamins you use for yours if any.. I wish for my pet to thrive...

nobody bothered to answer me here... Learned that dried mealworms are bad :/ causes my Starling skin irritations or something..,he screeeches after he eats any of those dried bug supplements.. :/ Live ones ok,... But I bought a bucket of dried mealworms and also dried silkworms,......All causes him distress within a short span of time.Please be aware of this.
@@Valleygirl66 Just rehydrate & don't feed to much. I can't see rehydrated dried food, if there are no additives would cause a problem if feed with other natural foods. My rescued Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) is doing well on all the normal foods. He does curse a lot & his swearing & timing are spot on!
Here's a question and I hope it doesn't come across as stupid or silly. Do birds (in general) in the wild, be it, a Starling, African Grey, Cockatoo, etc, do they speak human in the wild? Or is it us humans who teach these lovely creatures to speak human? I'm guessing it's our influence that makes them chatter human. Also, Is this good or bad for the birds- meaning: Would they be better flying around in the wild than stuck in a cage for the most part of a day. Thank you-
Jennifer Jones Starlings are considered an invasive species so they are not released back into the wild by rehabilitation centers if they are found as chicks and are often killed. If they have a proper loving home as this one does its wonderful. They naturally mimic the sounds of other birds so thats why this one is mimicking people (because it relates to humans since it was raised by humans) by allowing them to chatter this way is engaging it in its natural behavior.
Jennifer Jones We found our starling baby when he was only 3 days old and since they learn by mimicking, Sweetie does communicate with us in English. He has about 20 phrases so far and he knows when to use each one and what to expect in return ;-)
Jennifer Jones we have wondered what would happen if Sweetie got loose (not if I can help it) and raised babies, would we have a tree full of babies asking us if breakfast is ready? ;-)
@@zedpwner Taken from the UK and first released in Central park by some Shakespeare fans, i have been told. Now they are a big pest in the US. Ironically getting scarce in many parts of the UK.
i found a baby starling bird yesterday. he/she is very young i could not find his nest or mother so now i am raising it. can anybody give me advice, i feed him/her soak bred with water for now. i would like to no how can i find out the sex also.
Hey @Dai soaked bread wont give them any nutrition...u need dog or cat food soaked in water...then later fruits, seeds and mealworms along with a deep water dish!!! Good luck I'm at the last stages of caring for a fallen one myself!!!
Dai OrutisuTV I feed my hatchlings wet dog, or cat food mixed with a boiled egg and some fruit. I blend that in a blender until it's the consistency of oatmeal.
Dai OrutisuTV Make sure you don't give them water, it can go down into their lungs. The moist food is enough water for them. cat food mixed with apple sauce, baby electrolytes, boiled egg and some water until it is oatmeal consistency works great.
you are a complete idiot. This type of bird isnt even supposed to be here. They are from the old world and someone brought them here. The US kills them by the thousands. You can even see, this bird is quite happy and enjoying life, so why dont you shut the fuck up
Giuseppe A Not kidding in the least. I suppose you would find it distasteful to kill them as well. As for saying it all about me? Yes, it does - it says that I prefer fact and science over emotional bullshit, and that's something I proud of.
Giuseppe A They are highly invasive. Some states feed them "starlincide" in the winter. Esentially its a slow moving poison that kills hundreds of starlings.
Giuseppe A sounds like you have a very thinly veiled case of homophilia. And a hell of a lot of misplaced anger, enhanced by a fascinating amount of ignorance mixed with emotional instability.

yes, they do sound clearer than most parrots
My Tweeters is 4 and he has almost a 100 word vocabulary.
This is so cute. My heart just melted when the bird said "I love you". His owner sure talks sweet to him.
This is so deep in the uncanny valley that my bones are itching....

And then the starling will wake up one day and say, "please let me free"
I’m pretty sure there a couple imitations of the owner’s chuckles.
Amazing. But hate seeing one in a cage. Hate bird cages period. But great they spent time with him to get him talking.
This is one of the best talking starlings I've seen. Thanks for sharing!
The bird knows spspspspsp! ...on second thought, not sure that's the best thing for a bird to know how to say, lol.
WORMS! WORMS! WORMS!
lol
not worms, they carry a parasite that starlings have no protection against. Check Starling Talk website for a good menu for all ages.
Oh sure, when a bird talks like this, it's "adorable", but when a person does it's "disturbing" and "indicative of various mental disorders." smh

I used to have a starling but he died before I could teach him any tricks
I love birds but i don't think i could ever own one i think its cruel to keep them in such a small confined space they have wings to fly
He is mimicking the phone, the microwave oven, and the dishwasher as well.... I can't believe this video is this old now.

Wonderful amazing and informative.

Amazing!
he sounds like a recording! thats so cool

Aww, how cuuute! 😖

@@zedpwner Taken from the UK and first released in Central park by some Shakespeare fans, i have been told. Now they are a big pest in the US. Ironically getting scarce in many parts of the UK.
i found a baby starling bird yesterday. he/she is very young i could not find his nest or mother so now i am raising it. can anybody give me advice, i feed him/her soak bred with water for now. i would like to no how can i find out the sex also.
Hey @Dai soaked bread wont give them any nutrition...u need dog or cat food soaked in water...then later fruits, seeds and mealworms along with a deep water dish!!! Good luck I'm at the last stages of caring for a fallen one myself!!!
And Dec is supposedly found thru the eyes... Females have orange ring on outside males do not thats what I've researched neways!:)

Dai OrutisuTV I feed my hatchlings wet dog, or cat food mixed with a boiled egg and some fruit. I blend that in a blender until it's the consistency of oatmeal.
Dai OrutisuTV Make sure you don't give them water, it can go down into their lungs. The moist food is enough water for them. cat food mixed with apple sauce, baby electrolytes, boiled egg and some water until it is oatmeal consistency works great.
Is if starlings weren't fucking annoying enough
Or, as annoying as people who use ''Is'' instead of the more correct ''As''
@@kevinparker461 lol mad at a 6 year old comment. Incel
This is a female starling
If allowed how this bird train the speech km must be old and thank you
I don't like birds in jail 😥
you are a complete idiot. This type of bird isnt even supposed to be here. They are from the old world and someone brought them here. The US kills them by the thousands. You can even see, this bird is quite happy and enjoying life, so why dont you shut the fuck up
+SinovenatorSam YT
why
@@sinovenatorsamyt4213 Harsh! ..but correct!!
I think the bird is re-saying what someone once said
I hope you let the bird out.
that cage is too small
For what?
Why is a wild bird in a cage?
Giuseppe A because it's a non-native invasive species.
Giuseppe A Not kidding in the least. I suppose you would find it distasteful to kill them as well. As for saying it all about me? Yes, it does - it says that I prefer fact and science over emotional bullshit, and that's something I proud of.
Yep. Emotional idiot.
Giuseppe A They are highly invasive. Some states feed them "starlincide" in the winter. Esentially its a slow moving poison that kills hundreds of starlings.
Giuseppe A sounds like you have a very thinly veiled case of homophilia. And a hell of a lot of misplaced anger, enhanced by a fascinating amount of ignorance mixed with emotional instability.
i recommend a bigger cage? that cage is for mice or ants? thumbs down
It is cruel .
And there is no dignity for him in a cage .
Who gives us this right ...to put a bird in a cage for life .
Jumping to conclusions a bit there!. My dignity stops me making such stupid comments.
@@kevinparker461 explain pl. What's the conclusion I jumped to...?...that the bird is inside a cage?
