Interesting...
So this starling is indoors, I assume that it has been reared from a chick?
If so, this shows that starlings learn their songs from their parents.
In this case, the parents are humans, so it's trying to imitate them.
It would also seem that starlings are not able to reproduce human sounds as well as a parrot.
That said, the sounds this starling is creating are quite creepy.
