An adorable bird named Bubba has developed a special bond with its owner after being trained to whistle a peaceful tune. 

Anthony found Bubba orphaned under a tree in his front yard in Shepparton, Victoria, shortly after the loss of his beloved dog in August last year. 

The common starling helped his new owner cope with his grief by learning to mimic a special song.

In a heartwarming video posted online, Anthony begins to whistle a short tune as Bubba looks inquisitively at him while sitting peacefully on his arm. 

‘Now you do it,’ Anthony can be heard saying to the bird. 

Bubba begins to whistle the song and suddenly stops – but Anthony gently encourages his new friend to ‘do it properly’. 

To the excitement of his owner, Bubba echoed the song back and received a round of applause from the group of individuals sitting around the dining room table.

‘He lost his dog, and nature replaced him with a very funny bird,’ one commented. 

‘What a beautiful bird,’ another said.

During the breeding season, it’s feathers are a green-and-purple sheen  but transform into numerous white, ‘v’-shaped markings at other times of the year. 

Habitat:

Short-grassed habitats, especially lawns and pasture, are favoured foraging habitats, and they may feed in association with livestock, often perching on the backs of sheep or cattle.

The Starling regularly nests in tree hollows, especially in eucalypts, often competing for nest hollows with native species. 

Behaviour: 

Starlings are social birds have a diverse range of calls and songs and they often include convincing mimicry, especially of other birds’ calls.
