They strut like they own the place instead of hopping like every other bird. Plus they don't sing. They just have this annoying squawk instead of a pretty song. That and they always look dirty because of the marking on the feathers. I think god created them just to give airgunners like us something to do when we are bored. Plus they try to take over your mind. Whoops did I say that out loud? _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that? Larry??

But maybe the starlings are part of the devils army and were sent to get inside your mind and snatch your body. KILL THESE BODY SNATCHERS I SAY YOU!!! Yeah, I dislike starlings too, but I respect their role in the natural kingdom. So therefore I show them no regard and slay them like all the rest. They do sqwuak, especially after you've blasted one of them, or one of their buddies. Starlings have crud colored spots, but they also have that iridescent sheen on their feathers which gives them that gas on water look. Their feathers also look rattier and more greasy than a regular birds'. They just look ugly. The one thing starlings have going for themselves is that they seem to be fairly intelligent and weary. But I've also noticed they are not as resilient as other birds. So when you hit one, generally they are down for the count. I always consider a starling kill a moral victory. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers. Never needed any minister to figure my divinity.
