Starlings

Starlings

Starling numbers are declining steeply and British Trust for Ornithology surveys show that numbers in Britain have fallen by about 66% since the 1970s. This is largely due to the changing agricultural landscape with less permanent pasture and mixed farming reducing the supply of earthworms and leatherjackets on which the Starling feeds. Their wonderful arial acrobatics as they gather over towns, woods and reedbeds to roost at night are a joy to watch. However, their sheer numbers (when they are joined by winter flocks from the continent) can cause problems underneath their town roosts where their droppings cause slip hazard and corrosion. Starlings are protected birds, so the only solution is to try to move them on to less sensitive roosts. This is generally done using tape recorded starling alarm calls.

Q.
Where can I buy a Starling bird distress caller

A.

We can supply the product you require although we do not keep it in stock.  It is called a Bird X-Peller Pro.  We can source it in 24 hours so delivery to you would be 2-3 days.  The price would be £295.00 plus delivery.  I will add one to the website so you can order it if required.

Sorry, there would be no delivery charge for this item
