I've got flickers in a box in my backyard again this year. Unlike last year, the starlings have been giving them some competition. On one occasion the male flicker battled it out with a starling outside the box.
Finally the starlings relented and the flickers have moved in. I set up a second box nearby so the starlings would have an alternative to pressuring the flickers, and it seems to work. A pair of starlings is interested in the second box and show no signs of pressuring the flickers.
