They don't mention how they keep the starlings out of the kestrel boxes. It
is such a problem that the guidance I have read simply says, "don't put up
kestrel boxes if there are starlings around." The solution is to check the
box every week and then eject the starlings. This is rather onerous,
especially because kestrel boxes are typically situated quite high.
I'd love to put up a box or two at a certain place (they recommend 1/2 mile
apart from each other), but until I find a better solution, I'm holding
off.
