The only one I have of this species.

💡Did you know? Red-winged starlings are fiercely devoted parents—both mom and dad share feeding duties and will bravely dive-bomb passersby to protect their chicks! 🐥🐣 They regularly defend their nests against creatures much bigger than themselves💪

💡Did you know? The way to differentiate between male and female red-winged starlings is the colour of the head -- males are all black♂, but females have grey heads♀. Careful, though -- all juveniles also have all-black heads!

💡Did you know? Red-winged starlings are clever problem-solvers and quick learners—often outsmarting efforts to stop them from roosting or nesting on buildings! 🧠

💡 Did you know? Red-winged starlings are omnivores—they’ll snack on everything from fruit to insects, and sometimes even steal scraps from picnic tables!🍇🥩
