Description
The bird hotel from Hjørring consists of 12 yellow nest boxes, each set up close to the others. As opposed to most other common garden birds, the starling (Sturnus vulgaris) often cohabitates in colonies with other starlings as close neighbours. Hence, the Superkilen nest boxes are very near one another.
The starling is a migratory bird, arriving in northern Europe during the summer season, but wintering in milder climes, such as southern Europe. Each fall, around one million northern European starlings invade Rome, and the bird feces inflict costly damage on the city cars.
