There's thousands of 'em! is the caption for the graphic file: starlings.jpg It's another amazing Weirdclipart.com, popular image, from the Old McWeirdo Had a Farm Archive, featuring weird animals down in Old McWeirdo's barnyard, an' over the fence, an' even way, way over yonder! We's shore hopin' that yew like 'em, and we hope yew will come back an' take another look soon at what new critters show up 'round these here parts! Starlings are any of various species of Old World birds of the family Sturnidae, characteristically having dark, often iridescent plumage; especially Sturnus vulgaris, widely naturalized in North America. Indeed, all of the starlings in the US and Canada are descended from an original population of sixty birds introduced to Central Park in New York City, in 1860. A starling is also a protective structure of pilings surrounding a pier of a bridge. Do you think that populations of US starlings might soon exhibit signs of being infected with the Avian flu? We certainly hope not!
