Qwing to the rapid increase and nearly 
universal distribution of Starlings in our 
state, it will be well to make unbiased obser- 
vations concerning them :- 
1. Upon what do adult and young Star- 
lings feed? | 
Z. With what other birds do they associ- 
ate? : 
3. Are they quarrelsome among them- 
selves or with other species? ae | 
4. Do they occupy the nesting places of 
other birds, and if so of what species? ° 
5. Are they ever gregarious when nest- 
ing? | 
The editor will be pleased to receive ob- 
servations bearing upon answers to any of 
the above questions.
