Wild Woman
Sorry to hear about your juvenile starling, its a real shame when this happens. Just two weeks ago I had a similar experience with a blue tit. I was doing the washing up and saw the mealworm feeder crammed with great tits and blue tits waiting their turn, then suddenly out of nowhere two blue tits came hurtling at the window. One managed to swerve but sadly, the other hit the window with such force my husband heard it upstairs. I rushed outside thinking the worst that it had died on impact, however it was still alive but looked like it had broken a leg as it laid there twitching. I carefully lifted the injured bird and placed him in a small cardboard box that my husband found, and I have to say I didn't hold much hope that he was going to survive. We put the box in a safe dark room for about 15 mins, then returned praying for a good outcome. Upon lifting the box to my amazement he was still alive and seemed to be quite active, so we took the box outside and opened it. Sadly though his leg was very twisted, I again carefully lifted him and placed his feet onto my finger which he then gripped (with both feet very tightly!) He sat there looking rather confused for the next five mins or so. With each few minutes after that, you could see he started to become much more aware of his surroundings. His little blue cap began to raise and after a full 25 mins, he flew off only to be chased away by "our" resident blue tit!!! what an ordeal for such a little bird.
So after all the window strikes in previous years coupled with the poor little blue tit we have now invested in some silhouettes, which seem to have done the trick thus far
Regarding your feeding the birds, it sounds to me like you have it pretty much covered.
It must be costing you a small fortune! We began with a few small (and I mean small) feeders which has now turned into a full blown bird restaurant!! But I wouldn't change that for anything!!
Hope your bird strikes this season are few and far between.
Keep up the good work!
