Starlings in Oregon: A pest to some, a fascination to others

The birds aren’t seagulls, ravens, crows or magpies — all of which are common at landfills.
They’re European starlings.
An invasive species, starlings closely resemble blackbirds and often draw the ire of many birders, farmers and others because they can pose a threat to native bird species and crops. Invasive species are living organisms that are not native to an ecosystem and cause harm.
On farms, starlings are most noticeable among the pest birds, said Jenifer Cruikshank, who works for the Oregon State University Extension Service focusing on dairy farms
"There’s just so many of them, and they’re kind of voracious eaters," she said.
