Yep Starlings are edible.

US Government issued cooking recipes for them in the thirties when trying to eradicate them.

Starling stew with olives

A recipe from Calvin Schwabe's "Unmentionable Cuisine."
— by kind permission of the University Press of Virginia. This one comes from Turkey where it’s known as “Karatavuk yahnisi.”

“Fry some chopped turnips and carrots. Add a little stock and a glass of red wine. Place some starlings or other small birds in the pan. Add a thin purée of boiled potatoes mashed with beaten eggs, dry mustard, and some stock and a little beer. Cover with stock and cook for about 30 minutes, adding some ripe olives near the end.”
