A real gentleman (or lady)

I have a few Collared Doves visit my bird feeders - usually singly or in pairs.
They are always neat, never a feather out of place, quiet, gentle, polite towards other birds - perfect manners, like 'old school'  ladies and gentlemen.
I also have loads of Starlings - what a contrast! They arrive and depart in gangs, look a mess at the moment as they change from fledglings to adult plumage (see extra pic), push the smaller birds around, constantly argue and fight among themselves, spread the food everywhere, make lots of noise. In fact they look and behave like the worst kind of teenagers!
