European starling (common starling)

The Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) is a stocky, iridescent black bird known for its loud, varied songs and mimicry, often found in urban, suburban, and agricultural areas. While abundant and adaptable, they are considered an invasive pest in many places due to their aggressive competition for nesting cavities and damage to crops, despite facing significant population declines in some regions like the UK. They are cavity nesters, have a broad diet, and form large flocks, especially in winter. In a random place in Europe, your flock finds a nice field to land on
