The one area I will give them credit is plumage. At a distance, they're just black-colored blobs, but up close their plumage is quite striking. I wouldn't call it pretty, but it is unique. With that said, I still don't invite them to my backyard dinner table, but they tend to crash the party, anyway.

All that said, they are rather striking looking birds. They have beautiful deep colours and those white/cream/yellow tipped feathers. Very unique!
I have never seen them before. Thanks for sharing
I love the rainbow of colors they possess. Great shots, Brian.
I love their colors we have tons of them here....did you know they can be taught to talk? found that out last year while doing a little research...they can also be pets...
Wow,I had no idea they were this beautiful up close, fascinating! I get these uninvited guest at my feeders EARLY in the morning, so I let them eat the left-overs, then go out and feed my regulars. :D
i love their peacockian, heart-tipped plumage. we don't get many here. i see them in town, though.
Beautiful photos of these Beauties!
I have so far never been anywhere where they are in large numbers (at least not close enough to annoy me) ;-)
Wow they do look rather sinister
I think they are kind of handsome. Love these pics.
...shall we just call them pretty unique then? Fabulous photographs. Yes I reckon them like the Indian Mynah bird here, but these birds still have to find food and water too. Shame their inherent nature makes them so disliked. But I do LOVE your photos! Well done Brian!
I think they are Gorgeous! They visit my yard sometimes but are not pesky. I call them the "polka dot" bird :)
Great close up shots! They are so interesting looking!
Beautiful captures! I didn't realize they had such diverse color.
Hi there - I have just returned from the wild, woolly and less that wonderful world of wireless only internet - so now I'm catching up.
Great shots of the Starlings – they have been introduced here as well. But I wonder how far people would go to see them if they were rare? People would rave about the plumage!

this is probably the best Starling shots I´ve seen. :)
Wow, I've never seen them this close before! Awesome photos!
Hey, heybjk! haha, love how you call yourself, thanks for coming to my blog. But why do you call those starlings sinister? For me they are very beautiful, however we don't have them here. But we have starlings which are fully black with red eyes, i think they are more sinister looking!
Anyway, this bird is beautiful...
