Starlings are considered invasive because they were introduced to North America in the 19th century and have since multiplied rapidly, outcompeting native bird species for food and nesting sites. Their aggressive foraging behavior and ability to thrive in diverse environments allow them to dominate local ecosystems. Additionally, starlings often form large flocks, which can lead to significant agricultural damage and pose challenges to other wildlife. Their adaptability and high reproductive rates further exacerbate their impact on native species and habitats.
