Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris)

This starling has gone fluffed up and spikey at me because it's annoyed with me. I put peanut butter out then stood guard over it so the smaller birds could get some. I wouldn't let the starling near it. It hopped from branch to branch fluffing its feathers and vocalizing all sorts of noises at me. The starling equivalent of curses maybe?

A beauty of a shot, pose, lighting and setting Bill, many tfs and a fine set today.
 
I dread to think what he was saying, Bill! But at least he let you get a lovely portrait.

Could you get more perfect feather detail than this? No way and a brilliant capture Bill!
