Most recognizable by their medium-sized black bodies with a metallic sheen and yellow or black bills, starlings can have white speckles on their plumage at certain times of the year.

As cavity nesters, starlings will roost and nest in gaps on buildings which when given the chance can escalate quickly to supporting entire flocks of birds leaving infrastructure damaged and residents overwhelmed.  

Keep a look out along soffiting and roof edges as starlings will make use of any accessible holes resulting in accumulated nesting materials, and droppings down the exterior of the structure posing a health concern. 

Starling removal on a structure is as easy as identifying their points of entry, where accessible, removing accumulated nesting materials, humanely addressing eggs and chicks; and bird proofing the site.

Starlings are invasive species which will compete with BC’s native birds for nesting sites.
