Mozart's starling
Pet bird owned by Mozart / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For about three years, the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart kept a pet starling. The starling is remembered for the anecdote of how Mozart came to purchase it, for the funeral commemorations Mozart provided for it, and as an example of the composer's affection in general for birds.
