The Iridescent Virtuoso

Perched against a cloudless blue sky, the common starling is anything but ordinary. Cloaked in iridescent plumage that shimmers with every movement, this bird is a master of mimicry, capable of imitating other birds, machines, even human speech. But here, it pauses — as if listening to the quiet hum of nature — before joining its murmuration in the skies once more.
