Editing Common starling (section)

==== Polynesia ====
The common starling appears to have arrived in Fiji in 1925 on Ono-i-lau and [[Vatoa]] islands. It may have colonised from New Zealand via [[Raoul Island|Raoul]] in the [[Kermadec Islands]] where it is abundant, that group being roughly equidistant between New Zealand and Fiji. Its spread in Fiji has been limited, and there are doubts about the population's viability. Tonga was colonised at about the same date and the birds there have been slowly spreading north through the group.<ref>{{cite journal | last= Watling | first= D | year= 1982 | title= Fiji's sedentary starlings | journal= Notornis | volume= 29 | url= http://notornis.osnz.org.nz/system/files/Notornis_29_3.pdf | pages= 227–230 | access-date= 2013-01-13 | archive-date= 2015-07-18 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150718191531/http://notornis.osnz.org.nz/system/files/Notornis_29_3.pdf | url-status= dead }}</ref><ref name= watling142>Watling (2003) pp. 142–143</ref>
