Hullo all, Here are some of the bunch of Starlings and youngsters that have invaded and yet to leave. A chorus of noise and overly aggressive things. I switch to a feed they don't like, so when ever one of the fellas try to get a bite, oh no, The Orcs will just chase them off the feeder, nasty little creacthures they are

I sure hope that Dad and Mom ditch these little Starlings as is their way of raising them, they just take off, you are on your own kid, lol.
Thanks for looking in.

Cracking shots! Love the detail. I'd like starlings more if they didn't take over everything around here.

Sweet shots, Barry!

Starling parents are the kind that would leave their kids in the car at a mall as they go shopping

Truths in all of the above incl. the birds for squirrels. FWIW-I buy my suet cakes at the local Tractor Supply Co.(TSC) store-don't know how wide spread they are-a 10 pak for less than $10. Get the Woodpecker Blend and I have minimal problems w/ Starlings. Quite a few years ago, bought the cake holder and put in some forgotten brand of suet cake-starlings devoured it in a matter of hours. Took it down and put it away for several years. Tried again 5-6 years ago and have had this good luck since. Thought I'd pass on.
