Wow, do you know what type of bird that is?

It’s a Starling Sturnidae, I believe. Loads of them on Fistral Beach in Cornwall.

If I was tripping balls that bird would definitely be very interesting to me too. I'm not right now and find it interesting still. What type of bird is that?

I believe it’s a kind of starling. Unfortunately, I wasn’t tripping balls though, I was working. Still; found it pretty interesting!

This looks like a Common Starling, in the Sturbus group.
They are largely considered pests and have been designated an invasive species in some areas. Similarly to the grackle, they are often overlooked and not given credit for how cool (and beautiful?) they can appear.
As a birder though, ugh. They are a nuisance.

Oh really? I guess because we have the seagulls here that are the bigger nuisance we don’t consider starlings to be that bad, lol

You can tell by the frosted tips that this was at a 90s boy band reunion festival.
