Open countryside, farmland, parks, and urban areas. Forms enormous communal roosts in winter, especially in urban environments.
Eurasian Wren
Dense undergrowth in woodlands, gardens, hedgerows, and rocky areas. Prefers tangled vegetation close to the ground.

A complex mimic: rattles, whistles, clicks, and squeaks mixed with imitations of other birds. Song is a continuous medley. Also gives harsh 'scheer' alarm and chattering.
Eurasian Wren
Extraordinarily loud for its tiny size: a rapid, powerful stream of trills, buzzes, and churring phrases. One of Europe's loudest songs by volume relative to body weight.
Geographic Range & Migration
Common Starling

About These Birds
Common Starling
찌르레기는 수천 마리가 함께 복잡한 공중 패턴을 만들어내는 군무로 유명하다. 번식기의 화려한 반점 깃털이 계절에 따라 변하며 농경지, 도심, 해안가 등 다양한 서식지에서 번성한다.
Eurasian Wren
굴뚝새는 유럽에서 가장 작은 새 중 하나이지만 놀랍도록 큰 소리로 노래한다. 몸무게 10g 미만이지만 노래 소리는 500m 이상 퍼진다. 추운 날에는 집단으로 모여 체온을 유지한다.
