Good. Those birds are nasty. Of course, the official name of the bird is "European starling," since the species is native to Europe and was introduced to North America (New York City) around 1900 by a wealthy Shakespeare enthusiast who was intrigued by Shakepeare's mention of the bird in his work. The wealthy man released about 60 of the birds, and they quickly began reproducing and spreading through much of North America. The wealthy man also released other birds that Shakespeare had mentioned in his work, but only the starling naturalized.
