I'm not a bird watcher or anything, and maybe that's because my wife is terrified of birds, but, why is the Starling so hated? I've heard this before from other people as well.
It's an introduced bird that is a cavity nester. It competes with
native birds,like bluebirds and flickers and wins...Which is not a good thing.
You have mentioned your wife is terrified
of birds before,which is really hard for me to
wrap my head around since I've had birds as
pets since I was a kid and enjoy watching them. (Except starlings,which I
want to kill on sight.)
