Starling chicks - how long to fly the nest?

We've got a starling nest under the eaves, right next to DDs bedroom. They are making so much noise they wake the girls!
How long will it be before they fly the nest?

At least 3 weeks until the are fully fledged, then they still return to be fed by their parents for a little while after that.

When you are sure they and the parents have left, make sure you remove the nest and block up the entrance. Old nests often attract new occupants in the form of bees or wasps.

You might also want to watch out for little ladybird-like bugs (tiny, black and gold) inside the house. Carpet beetles - another lovely gift left by birds nests in the eaves.
