What a beautifully painted picture, much more appropriate than what I remember hearing from the male congregation at the the little church I attended when I was young. (Biddies and jabber are words that come to mind, lol.)

This is so good - starlings are everywhere here at work and home, and I can see the picture in my mind which you have painted. Congratulations, Andrea! David

Nice imagery, Andrea. Reminds me of a group of women in a park in my area. Starlings/chattering - nice allusion. Congrats on your win! ~karam~

I just like the way a group of starlings is called a chattering and it reminds me of lots of women talking at their church!
