Starlings.  They're awful, aren't they?  And come in huge flocks.
Some years ago I encountered a family from the Bronx who had a really 
unattractive child (I know, all children are really beautiful, but this 
little girl was fat and awkward), and her name was Starling.  I was sure the 
people, who were perfectly nice, but having grown up and lived in the Bronx, 
didn't know anything about nature, just thought they were naming their child 
for a bird that they thought sounded pretty.  I hope this child grew up to be 
a lovely woman, and calls herself "Star."  Auralie
