Morning feeding

Well I usually put my food put for the birds at 10pm on a night so it ready for morning when I am still in bed. However the starlings have been making such a racket they keep waking my up at 6 am as they take over garden, my neighbour also works night shifts so feel guilty as they must be waking him up as well. So my main question is 8am/9am to late for the brids to have their first morning feed, if that makes sense! I have no other problems with the other birds ( well maybe the jackdaws but they aren't as loud, just greedy!). Its the starlings noise that I cant live with, all their racket so early and hope if I switch there feeding pattern to later in the morning the might stay away? I hope you all understand!

Also would feed guilty about not filling seed hangers till moring but the starlings usually demolish them before the smaller ones get a look in anyway!

Hi and welcome to WAB. I dont think it matters, I feed mine at 05.30 as thats when I let the chickens out but on a couple of times when I have run out of fat balls they the starlings have always came back.

Well im still a teenager just!, so anything before 7am isn't in my dictionary just would hate to think they would go hungry cos they have always had food already there in morning, but I suppose at least its summer so they should be able to find somthing else first thing!
