Starlings nesting on roof- I’m at the end of my tether

[LittleFuckersAbout]

I can’t take any more of the noise. It hasn’t stopped for weeks. Every time I drift off one scrabbles about again. Lockdown isn’t helping either. I can’t even go to work for a break.

Landlord says nothing can be done until Aug/ Sept. I’m going to be flat out insane by then!

I get them every year, they drive me mad.

They'll be gone very soon, I haven't heard my ones for a week or so.

Make sure your landlord blocks up the gap once they've left, or they'll keep coming bsck.

God I hope they’re gone soon. That was an actual prayer. I’ve never prayed in my life until these little feckers arrived.

I have a flock of massive gulls permanently roosting on my roof. They sound like a squad of workmen in hobnail boots.

I am so sorry.

They’re all clearly awake and chirping. Occasional scrabble. Got about 4 hours’ sleep

I feel your pain!
Had a thread previously about pesky birds in my roof, they're still there... loving life... noisily ...

I note the name... could you not do anything about them?

I’m going to go and get earplugs for tonight.?

I feel your pain. I currently have a nest of baby jackdaws SOMEWHERE in my roof. We thought we'd blocked up all the nooks and crannies but the buggers have got in somewhere. They are sooo noisy!

I feel your pain. They are noisy little buggers. The lager louts of the bird world.

Ours have all fledged round here and wait on the roof, Alfred Hitchcock style, when I put their food out.
One chick is not terribly bright and tried to beg food off a nearby blackbird yesterday.

They should be gone soon.

We have starlings too. The are nesting in the pipe right by the window of my DHs study. Now he is wfh he has to keep apologising to people for the racket when he is on the phone or zoom. They are getting big now as I saw a chick flap and peep over the edge so hopefully they will fledge soon.

We have six adults and four chicks down at the moment.

I can hear them two rooms away.

Mine left a week or so ago. They’ll fly soon. You could always block things up when they’re gone, but I don’t mind sharing my home with them (prefer their noise to loud neighbour noise any day).

We had this OP and it’s infuriating. And one day a couple of weeks ago...nothing; they were just gone.

TBH I think it’s partly lockdown as well. The noise is truly unbelievable though 🙈

I actually missed them when they were gone

It's very, very quiet.

What time do starlings go to bed? Are they gone?

GET RID OF THEM NOW

Do not google bird mites, do not wait till autumn, get the bastards now

If necessary, get someone in to 'clean your gutters' ~ if they accidentally dislodge a nest while they're up there, so be it.

I speak from experience and am still traumatised several years later.
