Thank you Rangers for you IDs.
Same bird, just a more general common name.
The starlings around here fly down and attack my head, getting tangled up in my hair if I walk by their territory! Beautiful pictures, Ariana! i wish we had such a good zoo!
Yes I find Starlings are brave and fearless about Human disturbance..!!
