We had a Starling that the Mom kept kicking out of the nest. So we kept him, named him Floyd, learned how to feed the baby. It was a beautiful experience. I took him back and forth with me to work each day while he was still a baby. One day he said Mommy....we thought we were hearing things. Then he started saying Floyd and many other words. My husband taught him to whistle "Dixie" I taught him "Yankee Doodle". He had a very large cage with the door left open most of the time. We had a large container filled with water, he would get into it and had fun playing while he bathed♥ We purchased a small cage too, because we took him with us when we went on vacations etc. Floyd loved to ride in the back seat looking out the window just singing, whistling, and talking watching out the window. Some people that passed by noticed him and would wave etc. We looked up Sstarlings to learn that they are members of the Mynah Bird family...it all made sense then. He lived for about 15years. It was very difficult when he passed. He had so much personality and showed affection toward us. I still miss him so much, and it has bee many years ago♥♥♥

What a wonderful relationship♥️ Mine didn't have a chance really, to learn a lot of sounds or words. I raised one from no feathers to full feathers. I truly wish he'd of survived. I underestimated his jumping abilities as he wasn't flying yet. He jumped out of his box/best during the night (probably looking for me) and was injured. Possibly my cat or dog hurt him. I'll never know for sure. But I cried for so long after. They imprint you as their mum. And boy do they love you like one ..and NEED you like one🙃 I documented every week with photos and updates. I have a hard time looking back at them. I miss him still, my sweet boy ♥️

You were not kidding...astounding ability. I was mesmerized and visually riveted by the throat movements. It reminded me of the Lyre bird with its incredible mimicry. I had no idea of the starlings ability to sing, just of their flying patterns and iridescent feathers. Wow...totally awesome. Thanks for sharing this special bird with us.

And this is only half of it. Starlings have a language, but far most of it is beyond what a human can hear. What they come together every autumn, in large flocks filling multiple trees they literally have a meeting where they talk with each other. We are not the only species who can talk, also not the only intelligent species. It is flabbergasting what you can learn a crow, and what a crow can learn himself. Starlings can learn human talk like parrots can.

Yes, it is very humbling to know we are not the masters of speech, but a little starling can outdo human speech and with no lips, face, palate, teeth use. Just a voice box. Astounding! fyi - TEACH a crow, not LEARN a crow.

That is an excellent repertoire, even for a starling. Funny to hear some human speech phrases too. Makes me start pondering if their repertoire is important to them the same way as our vocabulary is to us humans. I also wonder if it depends on their surroundings and how they live, if birds develop their repertoire depending on what is required for their individual form of life.

They were designed as biological drones to record almost all sounds to probe new planets life. The speech you heard is not crystal clear because the human was far away when the biorecorder was triggered.

That’s a lovely birb you have 🥰 I have a nest somewhere by the kitchen window. I see them flying with stuffing for the nest. I don’t want to climb up there and spook them. Then I was sitting in my Jeep with the window down in my driveway, I get a very close visit from a hummingbird yesterday, I heard him before I saw him, just hovering, watching me. Then today I saw the nest, right above my Jeep right outside my window. 2 tiny little eggs! 🪺. Aww! They’re so adorable! I have no idea what to listen for. The starlings are fairly vocal. I’m not sure what to expect with the hummingbirds. And just think, our fence was blown down this winter with tornadoes, the fence guy pulled out his chainsaw to cut my trees down. They’re dead! I said NO WAY DUDE! It’s WINTER! These trees are FINE, and by Spring they’ll be full of life. Oh they sure are! I love my beautiful trees and who knows how many nests! It’s glorious! ✨🪺🥰🌳🏡🌴✨
