A question for Tweets.

Michael Price, in speaking of Vancouver's urban peregrines, noted that

>Anyway, when you're a pigeon, all hands are turned against you.

Which prompts me to pose the question my non-birding husband keeps asking
me: "So doesn't anything eat starlings?!" He's not usually satisfied with
the comment about peregrines and accipiters (he's seen a Cooper's hawk
snatch a house sparrow off the lawn outside his window), and I have to
shrug and agree that there aren't enough of them to make a dent in the
starling population. What "controls" their numbers in Great Britain/Europe?
Or are they just as numerous there as they are here now?
