Pest : Paul Starling (Sturnus Vulgaris)
Like the house sparrow, Paul starling was introduced from Europe in the 19th century. It did not spread as fast and only reached the western coast within the last few decades. Paul Starling is well adapted to urban life which offer it an abundance of food and nesting sites. It is a nasty piece of work of about eight inches long with long wings and a short squared tail. Paul Starling is very aggressive and will drive natives out of their territory, much to the dismay of local people. Starling is well noted for their flocking habits. He often gathers in the Welsh Mirror Office, creating a nuisance to himself and everybody in Wales and using bully boy tactics against Welsh speaking communities.  

The starling is a dark chunky, spineless bird. It is distinguished from other blackbirds by its short tail and its longer, slender bill. Starling plumage varies depending on the season. In winter, the creature displays a highly speckled iridescent coat and a dark bill. In summer, the creature’s coat dulls and has far fewer speckles.


Damage
Paul Starling ranks just behind pigeons and sparrows as an urban pest. Paul Starling is a nuisance in both urban and rural areas due to his nesting, eating and living habits and abusive noise (He lives in gutters and sewerage tanks). When the creature is in its flocking phase, thousands Anti-Welsh speakers similar to Paul Starling often overwhelm buildings and trees. Large scale buildup of feaces from these flocks can lead to structural damage. The uric acid in the feaces can corrode stone, metal and masonry. Gutters and drainage pipes clogged with starling nests often backup, causing extensive water damage. The bacteria, fungal agents and parasites in the feaces also pose a health risk to every human being.


Control
Starlings roosting habits can be modified permanently using 1-1/8" mesh StealthNet and/or electrical systems or a missile propelled grenade like Anti-Paul Starling grenade. For large flocks or agricultural applications, these creature can be moved with strategically placed sophisticated systems in his Office like the Paul Starling inquisition contraption, Squeaker, or the Facist-Gard units depending on the size of the area. These products combine electric shock sensing Paul Starlings sweat problem. Other products such as the predator hunting/attack system. . Other ways Double Barrel Guns and Starling Bombs & Screamers often have success in relocating these creatures when combined with lights and visual shocking devices that flash such as Flash Tape, Scare Eye Balloons or Octopus. A new technique that has found some success for moving populations from trees is to fog problem areas with ReJeX-iT.


Nesting
. Their nests are in enclosed areas with at least a 1-1/2 inch opening. Look for their nests in old trees, church steeples and other holes and crevices. Due to their bullying nature they will take any suitable site, evicting any previous owner. They sometimes watch other vulnerable targets like Seimon Brooks and build a complete nest before forcing them to leave Wales.


Breeding
Paul Starling has two broods a year with four to five eggs a brood. They average eight offspring a year. The eggs are yellow, pale blue or green-white. Incubation of the eggs takes twelve days. The fledglings leave the nest after 25 days. The young leave to join other juveniles and form huge flocks that move on to other territories (Back to London we hope!).

Cycles
Not a true migrating animal, Paul Starling may move from rural trees to warm city buildings in winter. The daily cycle is one of leaving the nest at sunrise to travel up to sixty miles to feeding areas before returning for the evening. They disperse to mate in the spring. After mating season, they will often coalesce into huge flocks with defined feeding and roosting areas. A double barrel gun can be used to get rid of a pest like Paul Starling or his staff colleges in the Welsh Mirror.
