You are spoiling me Paul, obviously this lady is feeding him on a regular basis by the look of the date on the film. I bet he is waiting every morning for his breakfast. It sure makes you look at Starlings in a different way.
I saw on Youtube a film that showed in the USA they are considered an invasive species and people put up boxes at nesting time which are constructed to con them into thinking it's a potential nest site. When they go inside they are trapped. I couldn't watch to see what happened to them next but you can imagine! Surely there must be a better way than this, perhaps the introduction of more natural predators would reduce the numbers? I think its awful that the best solution that humans can come up with is killing.
