talking bird starling 

Omg these are wild birds that come on my balcony....never knew they can talk!

There is one in my neighborhood that screams. When I first bought my house I couldn't get over it for like two years because I have small kids who would play in the yard and it would trip me out!! LOL

Starlings make great pets and they are so smart! I rescued one 4 weeks ago and I just love this little bird!

i just learned that my neighbors have a starling that talks too...saying "Here kitty kitty...Did you poop on me" etc....so crazy that they can talk!

Your Starling sounds better than any parrot I've ever heard. This is the first time I've heard a Starling speak human words and I'm totally blown away! Too cool!

What a cutie! There's a starling near me that loves to startle people - he imitates a falcon screech & a red tailed hawk, (we have a peregrine & some hawks in the area, so I guess the starling is enjoying his ability to imitate the raptors).

amazing wow, they have such an incredible range but as much as the wild starlings which visit my garden and mimicking my whistles. I am pleasantly suprised they are exceptional talkers wow. I adore starlings, so good you took care of the sweet little starling, thank you ;-)

Starlings are such beautiful and intelligent birds, it breaks my heart to know what farmers and our country does to them! What a smart little boy, he seems very happy.

They really are beautiful close up, and i never realised they could talk. Beautiful little bird.

I have been a bird watcher for 19 years and I have never heard a Starling talk! Thats amazing!

How cool hearing a Starling talk with a deep voice!

I love starlings, everyone should be lucky enough to have one in there lives, they are fantastic.

I thought talking was a parrot thing, now I see talking starlings, ravens, magpies. Birds are so amazing

I've been watching lots of starling vids today and this is the best mimic of human voice I've heard so far, great bird you have there!

I have a starling too. I found him when he was 3 days old. He'll be 8 years old this coming June. He talks and sings beautifully. I love him so much and he is one very spoiled little boy. LOL

What a cute little bird who has a good life.

That certainly is the bird talking. All birds have the ability to learn to talk. Mynah birds are actually a starling species. Wonderful little birds.

I thought only parrots could talk. Wow! He's so sweet.

What a sweet talking cute birdie!!

This is amazing i never knew a starling could talk

We have 2. one for 13 years. still healthy. I love yours too.

You're so right....animals understand a lot more than we think...it's like a baby learning a language but not learning to speak it. I have 2 starling chicks that are 14-16 days old, and they will make amazing pets for me. Their names are Jack and Jill and they learned their names in 2 days. They're so intelligent it astounds me. Even my parakeets know my emotions and will make certain noises corresponding to my mood. If I'm crying or looking sad they'll make silly noises or fall silent...

You did a great job with her...thank you for rescuing her. Her talking is amazing...I can tell you've spent time with her teaching her so well. Very cool. Thanks for making the video so we could enjoy seeing and listening to her also!

god bless her,and you for being a great owner and loving of her,i am an avid bird owner and live for my parrots and other wild species that surround my home.

wow ive never heard such clarity from a bird before ive seen and heard parrot talking but this starling is unbelievable and has better grammar and english than i do !! and im english

You find this scary? That says a lot about human kind. This is an awesome gift of nature. Birds in general are great creatures and highly intelligent. Most of which are the small variety that can talk.

they kinda sound like r2d2

Starlings can imitate almost anything. I've heard wild ones imitating car alarms, children on a playground, and dogs.

This is really interesting to see- all that wittering they do in the trees, it suggests that some of it is repetition of what they're hearing from certain other birds.

There is a wild flock of Starlings, that I feed daily. I never had any ideal they could minic sounds. Luv it ! Smiles from Va. Go USA !

I never knew starling could talk. That's an amazing bird.

He speaks so clearly! It's so cute =]

wow x that amazing.. nature talks loads!!

Lovely little sweetie.

He's so sweet!

Wow!! Starlings are everywhere. I can't belive this one is Talking. Wow!

Oh wow. Can I ask how he reacts when he sees other birds like himself? Truly amazing.

Aw I saw this on the starlingtalk site! My little guy imitates all the whistles I taught him, and understands basic commands, and comes when called! I love starlings, they are great companions. :)

Wow I never knew Starlings could talk. AMAZING!!!!

it doesnt sound like the bird is talking but you can tell it is. that is so cool.

awesome that you raised it from a baby! good for both of you

Wow! That is amazing! It seems to talk better than a parrot.

lol...bet there's never a dull moment at your house! Cute video! Very entertaining bird!

so cute!!! What a doll!

man that bird has a trippy voice. so cool. thx for posting.

I didn't know starlings could talk! Amazing.

I didn't realize starlings could talk, especially so clearly. I saw a starling many years ago perched on the roof at my workplace, he was trying to imitate other birds the way mockingbirds do, but with very low quality.

this is AMAZING! I feed TONS of these Everyday in my driveway.. they live wild in MA. I cant beleive they can TALK!! WOW!

He sounds very loved~ :D

it cracks me up when it says, hey buddy what u doing.

I love Starlings!!!

Cool, beautifull and smart bird... really nice!

Wow! The cutest!

It is very beautiful, such a sweet talking bird! Lovely!!! :-)

The large ones, mynas, speak like a boss!

my favorite one is hey buddy what ya doing? Love it!

this is amazing!... i love her!

i see these birds outside ALL the time! i didnt know they could learn to talk lol

I knew Crows & Ravens could be taught to talk, but I had NO idea a Starling could talk! That's pretty amazing.

I have a nest of European starlings on my apartment building. Every morning I'm treated to its full repertoire of sounds; dog barking, crows caw-ing, various songbirds, children screaming (we live next to a playground), hawk screeching, cuckoo sounds, whistles, sirens, gulls, etc. While they amaze me, they also drive me crazy. I really hope they don't learn to talk.

Along with Starlings, too. A Starlings call is very metallic sounding, and I have seen a starling call and it doesn't open it's beak very much when it does that.

what can i say but ... wow shes awesome same to u for raising her the best video ive seen good on ya just fab

I know it's hard to believe that a starling, the birds you see outside all the time can talk. But it's amazingly true.

My science teacher is watching over a parrot from Africa and at night she was watching T.V. and then she heard " Hey, baby". She turned around and notice that the parrot was saying it! Then it said " Wanna come out?" because it was in a cage. I was laughing on the floor wen I heard that story!!XD

that is so cute....my starling used to do that!

omg, that is so cute! You must have spent a lot of quality time together, cudos to you!

aww what a pretty bird!

just incredible! I wonder how many other hand-raised types of birds can be taught to speak?! Amazing!!

Gimme kiss

Thank you so much. I had no idea Starlings could speak. Sooooooo cute!

Great video and great bird! Thanks for sharing!

Hey buddy, what ya doing? Gimme kiss! This was fantastic. What's buddy doing? Totally awesome.

I had no idea that Starlings could talk like that...very cool!

I knew mockingbirds could mimic speech among other things. I didn't know about the others, including starlings. You learn something knew every day.

She's so cute!!!!

you gotta be kidding me. i didn't know starlings were capable of that!! really..? that is really her voice. that is amazing to me. i like "hey buddy, what you doin?" very neat

Wow, this really surprised me. Who knew a starling could talk. Amazing!

that is so cool, I raised some baby starlings once, let them go when they grew up though, i would of never thought they could talk, that is very cool =)

She's amazing, and I also didn't know starlings were mimics of this caliber.

He's fantastic! :)

omg i love her she is brill

WOw the words are so clear two i have a 9 year old male parakeet that says pretty birdy, bird bird, and mimics kissing and sneezing noises and he also picked up the s word lol But its amazing that u have a bird this tamed !

amazing! you would never think a starling could do hat if I had known I would had kept the one that flew down my chimney!

I am thoroughly enjoying this video,lol

beautiful bird

I had no idea that starlings could talk too!!! This is simply amazing!!!

I had no clue a Starling could talk so well!!

Are you kidding me? I didn't know Starlings could talk! Amazing!

This is a lot clearer to me at half speed.

Thanks for this video. I've got a crazy bird that lives in my apartment complex who likes to mimic car alarms and cell phones all day. I've always wondered what the heck it was. I never would have guessed a Starling.

Dude that's awesome!!! I want a starling to!!!!!!

"Hey Buddy, Hey Buddy." Thats so cute.

Hahaha, that's awesome! I love it when he says 'Hey buddy, whatcha doing?" I can't tell what the third thing he says is. I can understand 'Gimme kiss' but not the other sentence that sounds like a robot.

That is sooooo cool and cute :-) I had no idea starlings could learn how to talk :-)

I personally couldn't see us having a starling in the house, but to each their own. We keep the cage for our parakeet open like that though. I didn't know starlings could mimic human speech like that.

they talk so much clearer than parrots.wow!

haha wow such a clear voice!

Oh My!!! I never seen a starling talk before!!! I know they do mimic other birds but humans!!!

Wow, never heard a starling talk before!

OMG..didn't know you can get a Starling to talk...he talks better than my parrot... very nice vedio ...
