The Starling.(Sturnus vulgaris)
Summary
Starlings from Europe were introduced for insect control to North America, South Africa, Australia , and New Zealand. They have iridescent purple and green feathers tipped with white spots, but appear black at a distance. Large flocks roost communally at traditional sites, spreading out to pasture and urban feeding grounds each day. One of the commonest garden birds, starlings are easily recognised by their noisy, hyperactive behaviour. They are resident throughout New Zealand on open country, including most offshore islands.
