Starlings are quite intelligent, and are natural mimics.

Not as clever as crows, but getting there.

Why is it

saying that it hates Demarr near the end of the vid? What does the bird have against this Demarr?

There used to be

a starling that lived outside Mr Bins house in the 80's that could do a perfect imitation of the game over sound from Pacland.

Or whatever his name was.

Interesting...

So this starling is indoors, I assume that it has been reared from a chick?



If so, this shows that starlings learn their songs from their parents.



In this case, the parents are humans, so it's trying to imitate them.



It would also seem that starlings are not able to reproduce human sounds as well as a parrot.



That said, the sounds this starling is creating are quite creepy.
