> We have a starling problem! The birds have just started to roost in our (protected) pin oak tree, and are making a mess on the drive and garden. Any suggestions for discouraging them? What does the council do? This could become a big problem, like in that neighborhood in Richmond. thanks for your suggestions, Susan Noseworthy. 021 943 709
