Why Starlings Don't Make The Best Pets
This video is only 1 minute and 34 seconds. It's worth it for the last twenty seconds. I don't want all the cute pet starling videos to inspire people to get one without knowing all the facts.

Hmm. It's like The Birds, except somebody dialed it back from 'bloodthirsty and flesheating' to 'vaguely annoyed'.
But cute.
Jeez, lady! The bird doesn't WANT a freakin' kiss!!!!!!
(I quietly cheered when it attacked her face)
To me the starling was imitating the first part of a House Wren song at one point during this video. I would like to see a video of a starling being tossed in the air to lure a Merlin at a banding station.

To me a better title of the video would be "Why People Don't Make the Best Caretakers" or something. I go bonkers watching people make their pets or their children "kiss kiss." Of course, then there's MY dog. I make poor Photon play "Roadkill" wherein she has to flatten out on the floor. Her tail wags merrily, so then I say, "Not happy roadkill. Tragic roadkill" and her tail flattens out. Then, after "Resurrection!" and she does a little dance, I say, "Oh, no! Mommy's got a gun! BANG!" and she keels over on her side. So I guess I'm just as bad.
