Starlings which bombarded people and buildings with heaps of droppings have been moved on.
The Argus reported last week how a splinter group of about 1000 starlings had decided to roost near Gill Wales’ home in Regency Square, Brighton.
Their droppings had almost destroyed her garden, which was filled with ornaments and rare plants.
Now it seems the birds have been scared off by expert, John ‘The Birdman’ Butler, who runs a company called Clean Dimensions.
He got rid of them by using a distressed starling noise. He said, ‘I used the Bioacoustic sound of a starling distress call for about 30 minutes, as they were coming in to land. The birds dispersed and did not come back that evening.’
A few birds returned a couple of days later but Mrs Wales used the distress call again and they left. She is now cleaning up her property…….End
