Happy Bird Day and May the Fourth be With You! Just as the Empire sought to dominate every star system, the European starling is one of the most successful invasive species on the planet. European starlings compete with native bird species for cavity nesting sites and may impact species such as eastern bluebirds, purple martins, wood ducks, and several species of woodpeckers. They will attack and remove these native cavity nesters and their babies in order to take over the nest to use as their own. . . . #starwarsday #maythefourth #europeanstarlings #birds #nature
