The Starling Army raid feeders and I am always chasing them off. They act like many kinds of people.

Starlings will kill every last songbird or woodpecker in the neighborhood given a foothold, but there are ways of dealing with them if you have the patience. Our pair of neighborhood sharp-shinned hawks kill a lot of our favorite birds and nothing whatsoever can be done about them. Blue jays are frequently cowardly when confronted by other birds. Eastern goldfinches will beat the hell out of other eastern goldfinches. At least in our neighborhood, cats are overrated as bird/egg predators, while thirteen-lined ground squirrels ("picket-pin gophers") are underrated. Grackles are annoying but tolerable. A white-breasted nuthatch will move aside for a downy woodpecker, and a downy woodpecker will move aside for a red-bellied woodpecker... who doesn't move for anyone but a blue jay or a group of starlings.
Like liberals? Yea, we have that problem too. Mostly the little birds rule the day.
