It's the noise I can't stand. Try 20 having a party in your tree every day. Screeching kids nothing. You'll be begging for trampolines and BBQs instead.
You and me both Fire! They can't seem to move their wings without screeching. I foolishly let a sycamore get hold in my garden and they used to congregate every afternoon, my neighbour had an open bird table and mesh feeders in an apple tree, they just waited for him to fill up and they moved in.
My brother had my tree removed last year for me and the numbers dropped immediately, my neighbour sadly passed away earlier this year and now I rarely see any. They did try to get to my feeders but without success - hoping they stay away.

I want parakeets to come aswell there's loads about a mile away how do I get them to come to my garden for snacks and to get Rid of the boring starlings
And they do less damage to your garden plants than parakeets do … and have you ever really looked at a starling in full breeding plumage? They’re absolutely beautiful 💚

I consider them a pest where I live as they are everywhere. Doesn't help living next to a very large park which I think is where they roost. I see them as an invasive species, not sure what if any impact they are having on our native songbirds or their nesting sites but I'd happily see them culled.

Boring!! I don't think so.
Parakeets are causing untold damage to the populations of native birds.
