Invasive Species

European Starlings are known for their love of mimicking sounds they hear like parrots do. European Starlings came to New York in the early 1890s; they were brought by Shakespeare enthusiasts that were living in the continent of North America. European Starlings aren’t really rare as they’re usually in groups. There are multiple names for the groups of European Starlings in which they’re called a filth, constellations, scourge or murmuration which are kind of really the best names for these guys except for the constellation one. These little guys will eat almost anything as that’s why they’re seen as pests, as they damage crops. They do help to make nests for their other neighbors which is really kind in the animal kingdom. They also send warnings for upcoming events like other birds do.

The Eastern cottontail rabbit, also known as Sylvilagus floridanus, is an invasive species most commonly found in very open dry lands. Did you know they sometimes pee blue?
