I am a freelance writer in the Tacoma area and I am working on a story about
Starlings. Specifically I am looking for creative and humane ways to divert
Starlings from backyard birdfeeders and nesting boxes. One of the birders I
interviewed from the Tahoma Audubon Society suggested I ask the Tweeters
group if they had any ideas. I am also looking for any funny or strange
stories you may have about starlings: strange places you have seen them
nest, extreme lengths someone you know has gone to keep starlings from their
yard.

I am hoping to pitch this story to South Sound area newspapers such as the
Tacoma News Tribune, the Tacoma Weekly and The Herald.

Thanks for your help.
