Hi Michael,
Small numbers of starlings also occur at a lot of Sydney's above-ground
railway stations (including Central Station) and roost in sheds at rail
yards. Architects and the big construction companies are also beginning to
design buildings and other structures that are less suitable for roosting
and nesting pest bird species. This is due in part to stricter environmental
health regulations being imposed by some councils, in part due to the cost
and difficulty of eradicating pest birds once they colonise buildings.

Hi Michael,
We see large flocks of Starling in the Richmond Lowlands & Windsor areas.
There are also small flocks at Sydney Olympic park & at all the Eastern
suburbs beaches, so they are certainly still about in Sydney.

Hi everyone,
Where have all the European Starlings gone. ? Once were thousands in
Sydney, none. seen for a few years around Penrith, Springwood or elsewhere.

Their absence not a regret , just a mystery.
