Essay
The European Startling were introduced to North America from Europe. The introduced by Shakespeare enthusiastic in the Nineteenth Century. Now a days the bird is very well known and is a big group among many songbirds. This bird is a stocky bird that is very short. They are known for their aggressiveness but people still see them very attractive and dazzling due to their green glossed feathers. The only problem with them is that these birds over populate and are very aggressive. They overpopulate due to the fact that each bird lays three patches of eggs each year and the food source for these birds are insets, seeds, fruits, and small animals. The interesting part is that they travel together and roam around "singing" together. These birds are found in many places of the world bu particularly in Native Eurasia and North Africa and of course in the United States primarily in New York.. They can live for a very long time so these birds can spread into areas really fast in a very short period of time. Not only do these birds just affect the decreasing population of other birds but they also affect us. They have hurt the economy by the loss of agriculture, the damage was 800 million. They also cost a lot of diseases. Te other apart of their large population is that these birds can actually adapt to many different environments and have no problem being around people so they could be comfortable nesting anywhere.
