The Starling

By Christopher Feare

The first treatment of the subject in English, this book traces the evolution of the starling from its arboreal, largely fruit-eating ancestor, to the ground-dwelling, omnivorous bird that we see today. Habitat choice, annual cycles, behavior, breeding, feeding, flocking, and roosting are discussed in terms of their contribution to this species' exraordinary biological success.
