	Starling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Starlings are small to medium-sized passerine birds in the family Sturnidae.
		Starlings occur naturally only in the Old World (Europe, Asia and Africa), some forms as far east as Australia, but several European and Asian species have been introduced to North America and Australia; the Common Starling is a serious pest in both continents.
		Many Asian species, particularly the larger ones, are called mynas, and the members of the African genus Lamprotornis are known as glossy starlings because of their iridescent plumage.

	Birds - The Common Starling
		The Common Starling is a bird of passage, arriving in England about the beginning of March and leaving some time in October.
		"There is something singularly curious and mysterious in the conduct of these birds previously to their nightly retirement, by the variety and intricacy of the evolutions they execute at that time.
		As the breeding season advances, these prodigious flights divide, and finally separate into pairs, and form their summer settlements." The Starling is a handsome bird and usually nests in old buildings, though it has a preference for a dove-cote if it can gain admission.

		Starlings also devour grain put out for cattle in feedlots, damage crops, foul buildings and walkways with their droppings, and may be involved in transmitting histoplasmosis, a serious fungal disease of human beings.
		In the 1960s, one program in California designed to alleviate starling depredations on cattle feed resulted in the slaughter of some 9 million birds, but left 5,000 starlings in the area alive to reproduce.
		More mysterious is the case of the House (or English) Sparrow and its close relative, the Eurasian Tree Sparrow.

		Starling, at the film's opening, is embroiled in a scandal involving a known drug dealer — caught in a snafu that pits her own life against that of a mother holding a baby, Starling is vilified for possibly injuring the child while saving her own life.
		Starling was working against the clock and the suspense was perfectly built and maintained throughout.

		A tramp's mysterious death and the appearance of a raving woman from a secretive religious enclave set into motion a series of horrific events that challenge Hansen's faith.
		During that same period, Starling's career trajectory has been in a downward spiral since capturing the serial killer dubbed Buffalo Bill, as she deals with FBI bureaucracy and politics, and resentment of her early success.
		The mystery is secondary to the author's fascinating riff on the Zen of elevator maintenance plus his overt and covert attack on racism.

		Be sure and emphasize to the vet that your starling is a "pet starling" that you have raised since it was a baby, for many vets will not treat wild birds that people want to bring them.

		In that film, the young FBI trainee Clarice Starling (perfectly played by Jodie Foster) was forced into an uneasy alliance with the incarcerated psychiatrist in order to find another serial killer.
		When Hannibal learns of Starling's plight in the U.S., he contacts her through the mail and sets in motion a machine of corrupt law enforcement officers in both countries who are foolish enough to believe they can outwit him.
		For most of the picture, she is stuck in the FBI basement sifting through evidence and deflecting advances from her supervisor, Paul Krendler, played by Ray Liotta.

		Near the beginning of the film, Hannibal sent Starling a letter with the scent of a hand cream only available in a limited number of stores throughout the world in order to tease her back into pursuit of him, which was typical of his Silence of the Lambs character.
		Starling, who first proved her bravery in Silence of the Lambs, took her boldness a step too far in Hannibal.
		With Starling unconscious and drugged on morphine, Hannibal dressed her in a revealing evening gown and Gucci shoes; ten years earlier, he had much more respect for her than that-he never would have degraded Starling by forcing her to wear something so strongly out of her tomboy character.

		As Clarice treads deeper into the case and into Lecter’s mind, she’ll have to try her best to conquer her fears in order to solve the case before the girl is killed.
		At the film’s core it’s a character study of both Lecter and Starling while all the same relying on effect and mood in order to give the film the suspense it demands and pulls it off masterfully.
		Jodie Foster’s Clarice Starling is the larger of the two focal points, a determined yet vulnerable person whom is still a child at heart and wants to fight her fears as later revealed in the many conversations with Lecter, in order to become her own woman.

	Hannibal Review - Variety.com
		Never having forgotten Clarice Starling, Lecter circles her, talking and writing to her just as she is unjustly accused of warning the cannibal of impending police action against him.
		But suddenly, Verger's goons succeed in snaring Lecter and are preparing to give him a taste of his own medicine when Starling must make her own moral and ethical choices about intervening in the fate of the demon who has understood her better than any other man.
		Thesp's involvement is only suggested by a mysterious "assistant to Gary Oldman" credit deep in the end crawl, and performance is one of those odd stunts that comes off; the character is so strangely deranged that to root for him against Lecter, no matter how heinous the latter may be, is utterly impossible.

		Jodie Foster didn't return to play the part of Clarice Starling, Jonathon Demme didn't direct, and worst of all, Sir Anthony Hopkins' portrayal of Dr. Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter was almost cartoonish.
		The meetings between Graham and Lecter are good, but they don't enthrall me the way they did between Starling and Lecter.
