What now?

As a European, I feel rather embarassed about the invasion and nuisance the Europan Starling is causing in North America.

I decided to capture 60 Starlings in Central Park, send them back to England, and release them in Buckingham Palace Park.

If you would like to help, watch out for Starling eggs. The nesting season has just started and will last until June.

Even better, I'm offering a reward!

For any Starling fledgling, captured in the NYC area, you will receive $ 25. For any Starling egg, collected in the NYC area, you will receive $ 5.

If you can indeed bring me any Starlings or eggs, please email starlingteam (at) live.com and we'll arrange a hand-over.
