We have starlings too. In fact the pair that used to nest in our verandah had to find somewhere else this spring, cos I closed off their access BEFORE they had babies this yr. So they moved into our neighbour's roof! X~P The babies have just fleged, and now the whole family (of starlings) comes over to eat our ducks' food! And cusses at our cat if she's out, for having the temerity to block their way to the food! The ducks try to chace them off too, but they ignore them! Wicked starlings. But I can't help but love them too. Have you seen the talking starlings on youtube? Mindboggling the intelligence of these creatures!
