The Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris), also known as the European Starling or just Starling, is a passerine bird in the family Sturnidae.

This species of starling is native to most of temperate Europe and western Asia. It is resident in southern and Western Europe and southwestern Asia, while northeastern populations migrate south and west in winter to these regions, and also further south to areas where it does not breed in Iberia and north Africa. It has also been introduced to Australia, Argentina,New Zealand, North America, and South Africa.

What is a starling?

'Starling' is a name for several types of birds through-out the world. The Common Starling, for example, is considered a pest in many areas where it has been introduced because it displaces native birds and carries serious diseases. In some countries, like Australia, the government has put in place eradication programs to try and halt their spread. Their diet is varied so they can survive better than some other species.(See the related link below)Starlings are a robin-sized bird , black in color with yellow beaks.
