Starling on Tree Branch in May Singing Quote Postcard

Starling on Tree Branch in May Singing Quote Postcard

"Those who wish to sing always find a song" - Swedish proverb. This is a graphic art photo design of a European or common starling (Sturnus vulgaris) on a tree branch in early May, in Quebec, Canada. Starlings have glossy, often iridescent plumage, with white speckles. The starling has an impressive vocal range and also the ability to mimic everything from creaking screen doors to classical music. In fact, Mozart was startled to hear an imitation of music he hadn't yet made public, part of his Piano Concerto in G Major. The imitator was a starling in a cage in a nearby pet store. Mozart was gobsmacked, and immediately bought the starling, whether for its amazing talent or copyright reasons, we'll never know. This is a great design for bird lovers, nature lovers, fans of Mozart, biologists, ornithologists, birdwatchers and other avian aficianados; also singers and vocalists. Wild starlings have been known to mimic even sounds heard only once. Each starling creates its own repertoire of songs and sounds. An adult starling may have over 35 different vocalisations, which may include snippets of imitated human noises or other bird songs. The best and most versatile vocalists succeed in attracting a mate, as females seem to prefer males with complex songs. Males are also the nest builders, decorating their homes with flowers and colourful items to appeal to the female - who nonetheless throws these away as soon as she accepts the nest. Starlings are social and gregarious, also known for their flocking behaviour. Huge noisy starling flocks are known as murmurations. A murmuration can contain thousands of birds, creating a sphere type flight formation which undulates, wheels and flows like a large living creature with a mind of its own. Some are large enough to darken the sky. In Denmark, flocks of over a million starlings congregate every year. In large numbers, starlings are often considered pests. They can drive away other birds and cause damage to crops or buildings. They are especially fond of evicting purple martins from backyard birdhouses, moving in and making a mess of the place. On the plus side, starlings are intelligent birds, they feed voraciously on pest insects, and their multiple voice talents are amazing. If raised from young, they can make good pets. Original work by Canadian artist Sylvia Rose. Have a happy day!

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.
