New family of birds seen ‘flying’ through town

It’s probably the quietest flock of birds you’ll ever see.

Ninety European Starlings are “living” outside Hideaway Pizza at 230 S. Knoblock St.

Students in an art class that teaches three-dimensional design created the birds.

Each student made two forms — one bird form in a standing position and another in a flying position, according to information from the art department.

For the next three weeks, the flock will arrive in a site for three days and, like their real-life counterparts, they will leave as a whole and land in another site in Stillwater, according to information from the art department.

They will migrate Thursday to another location.

The three sections of the class each pick a place for the birds to stay.

In nature, Starlings are stocky black birds with pointed, triangular wings, according to the Cornell University Lab of Ornithology Web site.
