I have been observing the starlings and working on some ideas of an
anti-starling suet feeder. Here is one of several I have come up with so
far:

http://www.wildlanders.com/wildlanders/aaaasp/birding/suetfeeder.asp

The principle is based on the physical characteristics of the starling.
Woodpeckers, chickadees and nuthatches do not have to use their wings to
navigate up a vertical slope. So what I have done here is place a "wing
guard" around the suet cage and mount it up inside the guard so that birds
have to climb up vertically into it. There is not enough room for the
starlings to use their wings.

Hope it helps.
