Noisy Young Starlings

At present the garden, normally peaceful, resounds to the noise of young starlings demanding to be fed. I looked up the collective name for starlings (there were several) and one was a murmuration and another a chatter. The noise in the garden is a great deal more than that! A cacophany of starlings would seem more appropriate.

The noise gets even louder when food is put out. This filled coconut shell caused particular excitement, and it didn't last very long.
