Predation
European starlings typically congregate in large groups called flocks, except during the breeding season. Flocking together helps protect them from predators by increasing the number of birds that can watch for predators. Birds in the flock quickly warn others about the approach of a predator.
Known Predators:
- falcons (Falconidae)
- domestic cats (Felis silvestris)
