Mrs. Starling has made herself a home and nest in this Adamsburg, PA attic. She has even gone as far as starting a family.
Did you know that starlings are very invasive? Smaller than a robin, they will compete with native birds for food and win! They will even attack native birds’ nests!
As small as they are, they create massive nests. Starling nests are so large that folks mistake them for owls, crows, hawks, or squirrels.
According to www.allaboutbirds.org, starlings didn’t always live in the US. “Originating in Europe, the birds were intentionally released by folks who wanted America to have all of the birds that Shakespeare ever mentioned.” Wasn’t that a brilliant plan?
If you, too, are invaded by starlings, Tall Timber Wildlife Services can (1) safely remove the birds and nests AND (2) repair the opening in the building.
