If we are to judge by the interest they aroused in the London publishing industry, there were extraordinary sights to behold in Cork in 1621, sights that inspired several pamphlets and at least two broadside ballads. Locals apparently witnessed the strange occurrence of "an vnusual multitude of birds called Stares" (starlings), who gathered near the city of Cork in order to: fight together the most bitterest and sharpest battell amongst themselues, the like, for the manner of their fight, and for the time the battell did continue, neuer heard or seene at any time in any Country of the world.1
