They are very clever birds. My garden has a multi-apartment bird house mostly inhabited by sparrows, and every spring there are starlings harassing the sparrows and trying to steal hard-earned nesting materials out of the nest boxes. It started off a few years ago with only one starling, and now there are many trying to do the same thing. Learned behaviour?
