Why are we called Starlings?

Starlings are birds that murmurate in the evenings to stay warm or when one of their community members feels threatened by a predator. One bird initiates quick, dance-like movements to attract nearby starlings, forming a chain reaction of safety in numbers. This behaviour, where each bird pays attention and connects to the vibrations of its closest 5-7 neighbors, leads to the formation of large murmurations, comprising thousands of birds supporting one another. Inspired by this connection, Starlings Community aims to gather, and connect, so that ALL youth may rise with hope and healing.
