IIRC, in New Zealand the starlings are encouraged with breeding boxes set up on rural properties.
It's to keep down insect pests that the native wildlife can't handle.
Here in Aus, I personally have not seen the huge flocks of starlings that are prevalent in North America... so something must be keeping their numbers down.
