--001636499a4bf3ed710499104cf8 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi Gayle, I know you have been talking to Susann about your caging and I know hers excludes starlings so she might be able to help you with design of yours. Unfortunately now that the starlings know what's available there, they will keep coming back so your only real option is exclusion offerings. Also, unfortunately the competition between the orioles will likely continue with scarce resources. If the one oriole gets weak enough that you can catch it, I'd be happy to take it..I have overwintered orioles here before.
