About the book >.>.> The Starling Book by Chris Feare provides an in-depth examination of the European Starling, recognised as one of the most successful bird species worldwide. Throughout its history, this bird has formed a close relationship with humans and has been dispersed globally by human activities. Despite its adaptability and diverse habitats?ranging from gardens and woodlands to farms and urban environments?the Starling often faces conflict with people, leading to a complex perception of the species.The book delves into the evolutionary journey of the Starling, tracing its lineage from an arboreal, predominantly fruit-eating ancestor believed to have originated in south-east Asia, to the versatile ground-dwelling omnivore observed today. It thoroughly explores various aspects of the Starling's life, such as habitat selection, annual life cycles, behaviours including breeding, feeding, flocking, and roosting. Each of these components contributes significantly to the bird's remarkable biological success, providing valuable insights for ecologists, ethologists, conservationists, and ornithologists alike.Dr Christopher Feare, the author, brings his expertise as a Principal Scientific Officer at the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food Laboratory in Surrey. His research has largely focused on the ecology and behaviour of agricultural bird pests, particularly their impact on crops and possible control measures. This background enhances the detailed analysis presented in the book, making it a significant resource for understanding the ecological dynamics of the European Starling and its interactions with human environments.

Starlings and Mynas is the first comprehensive, one-volume guide to all 114 members of the family. Every species is described and illustrated, along with many distinctive subspecies. The authors have also taken the opportunity to re-examine starling classification in the light of up-to-date knowledge of the birds' ecology and behaviour. Introductory chapters outline the approach taken to the family, and give brief accounts of the birds' distribution, behaviour, ecology, breeding, moult and interactions with man. The species accounts cover all aspects of identification, together with a description of the species' ecology and behaviour. The 32 colour plates and distribution maps complete this ground-breaking study of this fascinating group of birds.
