We found out when she was still very young that she has quite an aggressive personality when around them. She plays rough and is very possessive of her humans, thus she pecked at our other birds and chased them nonstop when allowed out with them. We feared that she would injure one of them with her sharp, little beak, so we made the decision long ago that she must always have her free flight time when our other birds are caged. Although curious about our other pet birds, she shows no signs of yearning to interact them. Although Stormy does not interact with our other birds, this does not at all mean that starlings must be kept away from other pet birds.
Some pet starlings do indeed get along very well with the exotic pet birds in their homes.
Each starling has a unique personality which determines whether he or she will get along with other birds. Stormy is as much a pet bird as is a hookbill or a canary, etc. We have the most wonderful avian veterinarians in the world, and they have always been very eager to treat Stormy when she has needed it. Just because she is not an exotic bird does not mean that she cannot receive the same quality of care as one. Click if you have found an orphaned or injured starling.
