    These two decided to try feeding from the squirrel proof feeder, it was easy getting in.

    It's amazing how natural Starlings look behind bars
    I wish that I saw them more as they are hilarious. I used to have a lot hanging around my place ( I use that term purposely - it's like having a group of recalcitrant teenagers hanging around "cause we have nothing to do!"), but after the roof replacement took away the holes they used for nesting I don't really see them much. I was going to get a Starling box from RSPB, but they don't seem to do them now. Will have to look elsewhere I suppose.
