Starling (bird)

Starlings were a species of common bird found in several habitats in Faerûn, including the Sword Coast North, Interior Faerûn, and the Vilhon Reach.

Description
Starling were small diurnal birds that flew in noisy swirling flocks.

Ecology
Starlings could be found inhabiting the Blade Kingdoms of the Vilhon Reach, nesting within the city of Sumbria and swirling above the Palace of Manniccis. In Sembia, starlings were among morning chirping birds, found starting their days bathing in fountains. They also were notorious for coloring Sembite statues with white streaks – their droppings, and nesting in the Hulorn's statuaries. In the Land of the Lions, starlings and jays eagerly controlled the insect population during the day.
