Strange, the difference in thought between the two countries.
You say they are an introduced species - don't say it was the Brits that introduced them wanting a reminder of home 200 years ago
. When I want a reminder of home in Holland, I bring Bisto and mushy peas back from dear old blighty

In the town I use to live, we had a starling problem on a cross roads on the main street in town. Starlings roosted in the trees there and every morning I had to dodge being splattered from above and slip and slide across the pavement on the fresh poo - it was horrid and stunk beyond belief. I don't remember seeing any magnificent displays though - I must have been too busy watching where I put my feet!
