OK so why are the starlings in the roof suddenly so much noisier?

Cough kept me awake til 2, birds woke me up at 5, and they're *still* making a racket. Fortunately the futon is still up in the spare room, so I'm going to see if I can get more sleep there.

Is there much eating on a starling?

Dunno, but the ones outside Hermitage were also being very noisy this morning.

Not a lot; I reckon that you'd have to eat them in multiples, like one does with quails.

Or like blackbirds, baked in a pie.

That definitely works. (I grew up in the countryside...)

In one of the Little House On The Prairie books (I think it's By The Shores Of Silver Lake but I haven't the energy to get up and check) Ma bakes blackbirds in a pie and they taste like slightly gamey chicken. Starlings don't. That's all you really need to know.
