      Readers share pleasant news: the first family pair of starlings has settled on their plot.

      Photo by Denis Sukhanov Last spring, they hung up the birdhouses — and now, this year, the first pair has already taken up residence in one of them, — shares Denis Sukhanov. — They have settled in their new home. For now, there are only two: a male and a female. We are monitoring the developments. Spring has arrived right on schedule — the starlings have flown in, which means it will be warm.

      If you don’t have a birdhouse yet — hang one up: maybe they will visit you too.
