Keeping Starlings Away from your Buildings
Starlings may not use the same nest as the year before, but the nesting’s eventually get infested by some other Starling couple. So, you must know how to tackle the bird.
Here are some ways on how to scare Starlings away:
- Keep accessible water/food sources, like seeds, compost, etc., and trash away.
- If you notice any tree branches or bushes touching your building, get rid of them.
- Make some landscape alterations so the nesting becomes difficult for the bird.
- Add spikes, netting, or bird wire to stop the bird from entering your property. You can close the entry point with mesh to avoid future Starling infestations.
- Use noise-deterrent devices in the delicate areas of your property to scare the bird away. These devices make noise once it detects any movement nearby.

Starling Facts
- Since starlings tend to synchronize the laying of their eggs, all the young starlings in a specific area could emerge from their nests within a few days of each other.
- Starling clutches typically consist of four to five pale blue eggs and take around 12.2 days to incubate. After 21 days, the chicks begin to fledge.
- Starlings are not only impeccable singers, but they are also impressive mimics. They can imitate the calls or songs of other birds, as well as mechanical sounds.
What can happen once the starlings have made their nest?
- Starlings will immediately lay eggs to start the new life cycle.
- Once the nest has been established and the eggs start to hatch you will have loud screaming baby starlings asking for food most of the day time.
- Urine soaked ceilings with extremely pungent smell.
What happens when starlings leave the nest?
- Once a starling baby has left the nest a common occurrence is that the bird lice that have been feeding off of them will descend downwards to search for an alternative food source.
- The bird lice eggs will hatch for 1 to 2 months after the babies have left the nest.
