["Bob & Pam Tallman" <pamtallman1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello to all,
I live in Crestwood, KY (outside Louisville) and have 9 Bluebirds that come 
daily to the feeder when I call them with a whistle.  I have been feeding them 
since late Fall and now within the last week the Bluebirds are terrorized by a 
single Mockingbird who at first just chased them and would get them down and 
peck if it could.  Now the Mockingbird has declared rights to the mealworm 
feeder, plus the feeder is daily invaded by a flock of European Starlings.  Any 
ideas how to get rid of the Starlings.  My feeder is a Steve Gilbertson feeder. 
 Help!  I feel sorry for the Bluebirds and other birds who are defenseless 
against these aggressive birds with razor-beaks.
Thank you,
Pam Tallman
Crestwood, KY
