Ksipäätteisiä

Ksipäätteisiä, also known as "ksipäätteiset" in Finnish, are a group of birds that belong to the family Sturnidae. This family includes species such as starlings, mynas, and waxbills. Ksipäätteisiä are known for their distinctive forked tails, which are a characteristic feature of the family. They are found in various habitats, including urban areas, forests, and grasslands, and are often seen in flocks.

The family Sturnidae is one of the largest families of passerine birds, with over 100 species. They are known for their adaptability and have colonized many parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Ksipäätteisiä are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of foods such as insects, fruits, and seeds.

These birds are also known for their vocalizations, which can be loud and varied. They are often seen perching on wires or other structures, and are known for their acrobatic flight. Ksipäätteisiä are not typically considered a threat to humans, but they can be a nuisance in urban areas due to their tendency to feed on garbage.
