They are coming...
 |
| Who? |
An alien invasion is coming...
 |
| Sound the alert!! |
Fly away
 |
| Fly, fly! |
Get out of the open
 |
| Uh, oh.. |
Hide if you can
 |
| Can they see me? |
Because they are here
 |
| I can't look! |
STARLINGS.
 |
| WE'RE HERE... |
European starlings have come to invade the Red House Garden.
 |
| Oh crap.. |
They will eat all your food..
 |
| GET AWAY ALL YOU LITTLE BIRDS! THIS FOOD IS OURS! |
..steal all your nesting sites,
and sometimes even kick out existing eggs or babies,
contributing to the decline of several of your native American species.

 |
| Oh that's low.. |
They will also poop all over your baffle.
 |
| MUWAHAHA!! |
What can you do about this alien invasion?
 |
| We should call those Mission Impossible squirrels! |
Remove any food that they are attracted to, such as mixes with millet and millo, or use only bird feeders that little birds can get into. Keep the ground under the bird feeders clear of seeds.
 |
| WHY ARE THERE NO SEEDS HERE?! |
If you provide bird houses, make sure the entrances of your bird houses are too small for these aliens. If you provide large boxes for birds such as Northern flickers, watch over them to make sure that Starlings do not move in.
 |
| I still think we should fight! |
Hopefully then your aliens invasion problems will be solved..
 |
| I'M NOT SCARED OF NO SQUIRREL! THIS PLACE JUST DOESN'T HAVE ANY GOOD FOOD! |
..and they will fly away.
