Here is an OLD one

Each of the seven members of the Bird Fanciers' Club of Little
Wool is the namesake of the bird owned by one of the others.
Three of them have birds which are darker than their owners'
feathered namesakes.
Mr. Crow's bird's human namesake is married: indeed, Mr. Dove
and Mr. Canary are the only bachelors.
The raven's owner is Mr. Gull's wife's sister's husband.
The crow is detested by his master's fiancee.
Mr. Raven's bird's human namesake is the owner of the Canary.
The parrot's owner's feathered namesake is owned by the human
namesake of Mr. Crow's bird.

Who owns the starling?
