    Hi All

    I have 2 stralings at least nesting in my gutters at the front of the house. They have my house destroyed with bird poo. They are very loud but i dont care about that. I would cope for another few weeks but i am attached to another house, both cream in color and both getting detoyred and they are comaplining now. I am trying to watch the birds to see what stage its at, i saw one bringing back some green twigs today which made me think they are building a nest but there s definietly 2 of them which made me thin they have babies. Can anyone advce me re times of years and duration of nestings? Really desperate now, need to do something!

    I have starlings nesting in my gutters and babies have been born.They are crying
    out for food all day!
    The noise of them would drive you mad especially in the mornings:)
    It's worthwhile though when the babies leave the nest.I love watching the Mother
    feeding them on the ground,when they are out and about themselves.
    They don't give the poor Mother a minute:)

    Firstly, tell the neighbours that there is nothing you can do about it as it is illegal to disturb or destroy an active nest - and it could be their house next year. Starlings will use the nest for about 5 weeks and then you could see about having the access blocked up.

    Starlings in my area have now fledged. I hope swifts don't use the nest site after the starlings if you're planning to close it!
