Last Thursday I was out watering plants and a bird flew down from a tree in our yard and landed on my shoulder. I've identified it as a Juvenile European Starling. As you can see in the photos it's not afraid of us at all. In fact I was mowing the grass this morning and it was following me down the sidewalk. I had to stop and get my wife to come out and take care of it. It seems to love dried meal worms in fact it eats out of our hands. However it also will forage around in the front yard for bugs on it's own. Around 7pm or so it just takes off (it flies well) and disappears until the next morning when it's sitting on our front porch yelling for more worms.
