The plane crashed into the sea and 62 ‘people were killed. The birds had choked the engines of the plane and brought It down. Tragically, only 19 people survived. P So... whatis the link to Shakespeare? The stating is not a species of bird that’s native to North America. Starlings were introduced in 1890 by a New Yorker called Eugene ‘chiefflin. Schieffelin was not only interested in birds, he was ‘obsessed with Shakespeare. Hed made alist of all the songbirds ‘mentioned in Shakespeare playsand poetry and he wanted to introduce these birds to Cental Parkin New York This he di, but, some birds such as thrushes and blackbirds foundit dificult to survive. Others, however, particularly the starings, thrived, and by the 1940s they had spread across America from California to Alaska. ‘They formed gigantic flocks of upto milion birds and many native species suchas bluebirds and woodpeckers, were driven ‘ut. Schieffelin romantic gesture not only caused an aircrash, but ‘an ecological csastey, too. So, where does Shakespeare mention starlings? In allofhis 37 plays and 154 poems theres only one brief reference, and that'in Henry IV Part One. @4.3 How Shakespeare caused an air crash P=Presenter N=Narrator On October 4, 1960, a Lockheed Electra plane was taking off from Boston Airport in the US when a flock of about 20,000 starlings suddenly flew into its path.
