Do Other Birds Follow Starlings?

[BloomingMarvellous]

I often have a few Starlings visit the garden, when they arrive they also seem to attract other breeds of Birds that don't usually hang around my garden. Is there any truth in this?

That's an interesting thought Blooming I too seem to have had alot of new birds visiting since the starling invasion!

I wouldn't be surprised, the chatting they do between themselves sounds like a load of Ol' women gathered gossipin....Lol

lets hope so, the starlings are now coming in bigger numbers since I started putting the mealworms out, no sign of anything new yet, but here's hoping

Blackbirds are always first on the scene here , usually the females first and the males sitting on the fence watching. One female always sits on the clothes pole nearest my door, she watches the door and sits quietly "choop choop chooping" .
After the blackbirds, it's usually the song thrush followed by sparrows then starlings and jackdaws.
I had a house sparrow sitting on the roof of my shed, which is very close to the door, who was watching the door and chirping.
It's snowing again here right now so I'll have to put more food out later. The birds are rummaging around in the snow looking for the buried food I put out earlier.
