This is a photo of a juvenil starling--not mine. As you can see it is much more brown than the parents and hasn't the dark irridescent colours on the head as yet. There are quite a few starlings at the feeder the last few days. Starling apparently like insects but are more or less omnivorous. Although some of the younger birds beg others for food by approaching them and opening their beaks their comrades just ignore them. House sparrows and even pine siskins seem to be able to feed at the same time without too many fights!
