Nay, I'll have a starling shall be taught to speak; Nothing but 'Mortimer,' and give it him
European starlings were first brought to North America in 1890 by
Shakespeare enthusiast Eugene Schieffelin who released 60 starlings into
New York City's Central Park.
Schieffelin wanted to introduce all the birds mentioned in Shakespeare's plays to North America. As a result, European starlings are now among the continent’s most numerous songbirds.
