    Hi, looking for a little advice. Currently building a new house and windows/doors due in about week. Problem is I have a family of Starlings nesting in roof cavity. Is there anything I can do other than wait for chicks to fly, dont really want them stuck flying about inside house

    I feel your pain.
    Maybe build a nest box with some timber you have lying around , nail it to you wall close to the hole in your wall they are using at mo, and place the whole nest, chicks and all into it.
    I'd say its your only way, if you dont want to wait.
    Whatever happens, its still early in the season, so the parents can lay another brood.
