Sounds like the entrance hole in the nest box is too big.  You can eliminate
the starling threat with a 1.5-inch diameter entrance hole.  A small piece
of wood with a 1.5-inch hole drilled in it can be nailed over the existing
hole.

Subject: [birdky] rescued bluebird babies

the starlings have decided to kick the bluebirds and their babies out of the
bird house in my yard. we have saved one baby, is there a wildlife rescue
center near Madison county that could save this bluebird? I live in Berea. I
could put the bird back, but I would have to stand outside all day to keep
the starlings away, and when I leave for work in the morning the same thing
will happen again. I also thought about covering the house until tomorrow
and then when I get home putting the baby back and seeing if the parents
will come back. ================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBERS==============
