Starlings and female Red Winged Blackbirds. Also, there is another group that comes here about 15 or 20 at a time that resemble female Cedar Waxwings, but we don't know what they are called--it's new to the area and none of us know what it is. And, even though they are less in numbers, they are the most destructive and viscous. They work very fast, pulling and flipping petals in all directions, unlike Starlings that at least take the time to swallow. These have definite feeding times about 8AM and 4PM. These are the ones that hit the Zinnias and Dahlias as well as the lilies; they just pull and flip petals like they're in a panic.
