Ethics of bird lovers and the Starling problem
A letter arguing for drastic measures to protect native birds from introduced species like Starlings and English Sparrows. The authors, aligned with the North American Bluebird Society and Purple Martin Society, condemn allowing these pests to nest in offered nest boxes and call for legal protection against wildlife habitat destruction. The piece cites Peter Zerhusen’s 1984 study on Starling Bluebird competition and asserts the necessity of removing destructive birds to aid Bluebirds and Tree Swallows.
