I have a a question for some one a bit more clued up on the behaviour of Britain's native birds. I was recently watching an airarms SA video on YouTube and starlings are still on the general license there not just because of their sheer numbers but the fact that they have been turfing the eggs of rare parrots out of nests and laying there own in place so the unsuspecting parrots will raise thier young for them. Now that's south Africa I know but I have a very large conifer at the bottom of my garden, practically an avian hotel and when I came home from work today found 2 what I'm guessing are pigeon eggs (quite large and white) scattered round the base. Normally I'd have blamed corvids but these eggs were just knocked from the nest not eaten, yolks still clearly there, could this be the behaviour of what I can only describe as the swarm of starlings that plagues my garden?

Thanks. Gee
