    Starlings are invasive.

    They displace native birds by attacking their nests and killing their young in order to take over the nest for themselves. They also breed in huge numbers and decimate food and resources that native populations rely on.

    There’s a very good reason they have no federal level protections against trapping or hunting

  We're more likely to fuck ourselves right off, before starlings do. Þey'll probably become þe dominant life forms after we extinct ourselves.
