Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Yeppers. I'm with Mist Net on this one. The thrushes all sing pretty much their own regular songs. But Starlings? Just no telling what they're going to come out with next. They both have a tendancy to do it from a high point too, though Blackbirds favour tv arials more, especially towards the days end. While a Starling would as soon sit on any part of a building, taking the piss out of us Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Could it be a starling mimicing??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tote 856 Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Manys the time i've heard Starlings mimicking different sounds, a favourite of theirs is the sound of the house phone. Never heard a Blackbird mimic anything yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DUCKWING 302 Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 WELL LADS , A LOT OF BIRDS WHO DONT MIGRATE ...... HAVE REGIONAL " DIALECTS " TO THERE SONG , SOME MUCH MORE NOTICEABLE THAN OTHERS ......... AS A POINT IN FACT ..... THERE WAS A STUDY DONE ON STARLINGS ... IT STATED YOU COULD TELL WHERE THE STARLING WAS FROM BY LISTENING TO THE SONG AND PICKING CERTAIN OTHER NON MIGRATORY BIRDS SONGS OUT PERSONALLY I THINK THE STARLINGS AN UNDER VALUED BIRD , WITH A FANTASTIC PLUMAGE ALL THE BEST DUCKWING Quote Link to post Share on other sites
