Have you ever wondered why starlings don't crash into each other?

    If we're getting into the realms of music videos, some are best with the pictures deleted as well. Didn't some Juke Boxes have the facility to pay for silence - from the machine at any rate..
    I had a Saturday job in a high street store where the management would have to pay a particularly bad busker to make music elsewhere. A nice little earner.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    A starling is a starling is a starling. We think each one is the same but are they individuals? Are some a bit depressed? Does one have the hots for a lady with particularly sexy plumage? Does one long to strike out and find a gasometer in a faraway land? Are they all in the equivalent of citizens of a totalitarian state longing to escape? Should I shut up?
    They do actually suffer from depression and it's us that causes it.
    Anti-depressants go through humans and end up in the waste water, the Starlings which hang around the sewerage plants then drink it. They just sit around looking miserable all day.

    You'd think that drinking anti-depressants should make them party all day. They certainly seem to have a lot to say to each other.
  • The ones which live by water treatment plants don't.
    You'd think that ADs would have the opposite effect, but apparently, some don't.

    Wonderful videos Fire.
    Mike I'd be pretty miserable if I lived by water treatment plants. I'd move.  :#

    @Fire  Loved the third video as Pachelbel's Canon in D major is one of my favourite pieces of music. I first heard it when tv had very few programmes with no adverts and they used to have intervals and that music was played whilst showing penguins and their young en masse. Yes it was a long time ago!
  • Pachelbels Canon says bride walking down the aisle to me.🐧🐧 I remember it Fran!😊😊
    The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
