That is an interesting question. Can't wait to see what turns up. I've had plenty of different birds most are pretty good the best being Chukar and then Pheasant but the most i've eaten has been Crow, it is nasty especially when served up by an angry wife. (Sorry couldn't help myself)

We ate some this summer a few times. If you eat dove then starling is not much of a reach in size or taste. My 10 year old loves them. I have no problem eating them myself. I had a good friend from Italy. He told me they eat everything there from minnows to tweety birds.

Here are some recipes I found
Bon Appitite
Broiled starlings on toast
Cut the breasts in half. Lay inner side down on butter-greased broiler. Tie strip of bacon about each breast with a thread. Broil to a golden brown. Rub with oil or butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and a bit of parsley. Serve on buttered toast.Roast starling
Dress starlings same as you would quail. Cover with bacon strips. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add a slice of onion. Place in roasting pan. Roast to a light brown. Baste with drippings to which a touch of vegetable oil has been added. Green parsley and water cress make a suitable garnish. Serve with mushroom soup. A dash of red wine won’t hurt. Serve two starlings to a person. they go good with beer.Starling stew
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and fry in butter lightly. Dust with flour and add three slices of onion, 1 bay leaf, add a half glass of wine and water to cover. Stew slowly. When tender, set aside in a warm dish and let the stew-broth simmer to thicken. Then strain and serve.
