Making do

Starlings like gathering en masse on trees. But what if there isn't a tree around? As we all know, they make do, settling for (and on) utility poles and wires. And I was just wondering... is that one on the top of the pole the king, or the outcast?

And despite the fact that those wires are pretty long, starlings still crowd each other constantly.

Well, I wouldn't want to say "always", but - yeah, probably they are.
