Committee's view
Background
A single adult Brahminy Starling that was observed foraging alongside an adult Rosy Starling. Reportedly very tame. The fact full adults of these two very rare species were walking side by side, very early in the season, is highly dubious. This individual (and the associated Rosy Starling) was likely an escapee.
Verdict Accepted / Escapee (Verifiable)
