Yes it is an amazing sight, however, we that work a refinery do not take kindly to their roosting in our area. I have walked though inches of their left behinds and is not very pleasant. They do like our warmth in the winter. We have gone to a non destructive way to keep them away though in the past years. Good vid though.

Fascinating! I've witnessed such murmurations here right where I live but it was an unusual event. People just stopped on sidewalks and looked up watching. Even cars stopped on the road seeing all the crowd, got out og their cars to watch. It lasted quite a while, maybe 20 minutes or so.

Years back there was a massive blitz to rid the city of starlings for exactly the reason you mention, too much excrement. One winter morning I awoke to see dozens of birds lying in the middle of the rosd and all over the park in front of my house. I called the Natural Sciences Center and was told the city had sprayed during the night and would come to remove the dead birds. I was shocked and horrified anyone would spray poison so freely and kill masses of creatures. It has never happened again
