Summary

"The starling family contains some of the world's most successful, and some of the world's rarest, birds. Starlings and Mynas is the first comprehensive, one-volume guide to all 114 members of the family." "Every species is described and illustrated, along with many distinctive subspecies. The authors have also taken the opportunity to re-examine starling classification in the light of up-to-date knowledge of the birds' ecology and behaviour."--Jacket.
