The family Sturnidae comprises the starlings and mynas, a group of medium-sized passerine birds found across Europe, Asia, Africa, and introduced regions like North America and Australia. Members of this family are known for their strong, often iridescent plumage, gregarious behavior, and vocal abilities, including complex songs and the capacity to mimic sounds. They are typically omnivorous, feeding on insects, fruits, and seeds, and often forage in flocks. Many species are highly adaptable to human-altered environments, with some becoming invasive outside their native ranges. Starlings and mynas are social, cavity-nesting birds, with some species forming large communal roosts that can influence local ecosystems.
