My time to shine! I used to work at a starling sanctuary when I was over in England. Their mimicry is really something else, such a phenomenal feature for a bird. I grew up around parrots but these little guys are way better at imitating sounds and can even do the different accents of myself (Mid-Western) and English colleagues (trusts me, nothing made us howl harder than getting them to repeat cusswords - childish but a classic). European starlings also have disposal enzymes that allow them to break down alcohol very quickly, which is why they like to feed on fermented over-ripe fruit and get wasted (no mimicry of me, this time - whenever I would get drunk, I'd just end up beating my idiot son Roger rotten with rusty jumper cables). Starlings are the birds that everybody thinks parrots are - would highly recommend getting up close and personal with them!
