Hello
Got any unusual sounding starlings? Starlings are great at mimicry, with examples including machines, such as telephones and car alarms, and other birds such as curlews and pied wagtails. We are looking to find some of the best ‘mimics’ If you have any great sounding starlings and can record them, let us know.
Cheers,
T
Why not check out the news from the wildlife enquiries team?
I live on a farm and thought sure I heard a police car nearby and opened the window to check only to hear starlings (I assume) in the tree nearby making a police siren noise. I managed to get a really good recording of it on my phone too, I’ll try to figure out how to attach it
My partner lives near a police station and we have a little starling opposite that makes all the different siren noises of the cars. Clever thing.
