The European Starling feeds its young a worm between 15-minute intervuls of berries and insects in a birdhouse in West Anderson. While many different birds of the area are also raising young, the youth starling is expected to leave the nest about 25 days after hatching. The starling, introduced to Central Park in New York city in the 1890's prefers a home with at least an inch and a half opening, nesting in old trees, church steeples and other places with holes.
