after 5 years of trying to get pictures of the little buggers I did it!! On the property I live/work at Starlings nest in the iron rails that are used for the stairways. Almost every stairwell has a nest. They sure aren't pretty babies!!! But they are kind of cute.



oh boy!! oh boy!!




seems to be a whole world out there!!!




now for a quick nap............





hey!! What are you?





you think I'M goofy looking?





how about my good side?

Ooooooh, they are cute!

very cute, are the stairs not used?

Great pics Jim! How cool!

they get used all day every day.

Hope they don't have lead in them.

nope, no lead. The place here is too new.

Sweet little guy! I loved your captions! haha!

The ugly ducklings turn into cute starlings eventually, we have them nesting at my stables, my poor horses are covered in poops during the nesting season!

Starlings kill me - they will nest in the strangest places - I guess they think these nests are bullet proof & don't mind the activity. My Gran had to share her mailbox with them all the time - They didn't seem to mind the mail delivery.
