Best Answer

Starlings are softbilled birds (this means that they eat a diet of soft foods). Starlings are not seed-eating birds like parrots, nor are they fruit-eating birds like some mynahs. They eat a diet high in soft-bodied insects and round out their diet with occasional vegetation and fruits. Although often described as omnivores, they eat a larger amount of insects than do many omnivorous birds. European starlings require animal protien in their diets, which they receive from eating huge numbers of invertebrates.
