        As for the flock of Metallic Starlings, they hang their nests on the branches of trees. When they see a big tree, they hang the nests there, because their nests are very big. It is not a single starling that will lay eggs in such a nest. Three or six can lay eggs and breed there. These big nests do not have one, but many entrances, because there are many rooms in one nest. It is their habit that the birds stay together.
