I like Starlings, but if you feed one once you have them going at you for ever, and they frighten off the smaller birds.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-15179623908305165592018-10-02T00:14:21.569+01:002018-10-02T00:14:21.569+01:00Also parakeets and feral pigeons, or do you discou...Also parakeets and feral pigeons, or do you discourage both?
