Hello everyone! A very warm welcome to you all! The video I have chosen for this post is a fascinating 3 minute clip of Pepper, an 11 month old starling who speaks! Enjoy!
I had never heard a starling speak until I saw this video and found it fascinating that this bird can say so many words...and was only 11 months old when the video was done!
The photos I am sharing today are ones that I took on a recent walk. I just loved the patterns of the leaves and the colours of the flowers. You just need to click on the images to see a larger view.

ReplyDeleteMe ha encantado el vídeo de ese estornino. Yo solamente había oído hablar de un caso, el de mi abuelo, que había enseñado a un estornino a silbar el Himno Nacional de España, la Marcha Real. Un abrazo,
ReplyDeleted'intéressantes couleurs
ReplyDeleteThe starling is so funny. I'm another one who had no idea they could talk. I like all the different leaves, so many shades and patterns, and the flowers are so pretty.
ReplyDeletePepper is amazing and your nature shots just lovely.
ReplyDeleteCool!
ReplyDeleteI don't recognize some of your foliage or leaves but it makes a great photo. Flowers look good too.
ReplyDeletewhat a surprise - a talking starling :-)
ReplyDeleteThe patterns of the leaves are wonderful - and thank you for the nice flowers :-)

ReplyDeleteNature is amazing and these leaves just show exactly that. Keep well Diane
ReplyDeleteWe've been besieged with Starlings lately but this video gives a whole new perspective! Wow!
ReplyDeleteThat was a new one for me...a talking starling. I couldn't understand a lot of what he said, but the "Hi, sweetheart" and "Kiss, kiss" were easily understood. Too cute. Lovely photos, too.
ReplyDeleteDie Natur hat für uns immer sehr schöne Motive,
ReplyDeleteeine tolle Blütenpracht.
Liebe Grüße, Karin
What a 'smart' Starling! I enjoyed this Kinda. thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteDearest Linda,
ReplyDeleteGuess this is another creature that is showing gratitude for being rescued! Who knows what they all COULD learn if spending time with them and showing love.
Lovely variegated leaves and flowers in your above pictures.
Happy Sunday to you!
Hugs,
Mariette
A great bird, but I think he'd soon get on my nerves.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures Linda.
