Hello we ve just discovered that starlings have gotten in to our roof to start building a nest.
Starling birds nesting in roof.
One thing you can do is to make the slope steeper by installing an additional board or reconstructing this part of your roof.
Starlings can be noisy nesters so it s not surprising that some people dislike them doing so in their roof but fortunately i only hear the nestlings in my roof over the front door as i leave the house.
Starlings love nothing more than a cosy space in a roof or loft for their nests.
Exhaust vents and ductwork are a favorite starling nesting place which can.
Gutters and drainage pipes clogged with starling nests often back up causing extensive water damage.
All bird nests are protected by law.
The reason why birds like starlings nest under your eaves is it s safe from predators and natural elements.
They do need our help so if at all possible please allow them to access to nest in your roof but if the roof must be sealed off place nest boxes under the eaves for starlings sparrows swifts swallows and house martins.
Although they are noisy they seldom cause any damage and their nesting period is fairly short.
Large scale buildup of feces from these flocks can lead to structural damage as the uric acid in starling feces can.
