I met a couple at a street fair here who had a pet starling. They even let me hold it - well I mean it perched on my finger. Cute little thing - their plumage is irridescent and just beautiful. They are considered pests out here, too, and this is probably why it's lawful to keep one as a pet.
If I was going to keep a bird, I think this would be a nice idea. But I wonder, they're SUCH serious flocking birds, wouldn't a single, solitary one in a people house eventually just go insane without 5,000 of his friends around all the time?
Loved the video of the group flocking before roosting for the night - looks just like a huge school of fish in the sky. Surreal. LOVED IT. :)
