Starlings and Swifts

The Starlings are still feeding young in our roof, and driving us mad each morning at first light with their constant calling. Last night a Swift was also calling from inside there too, and was again calling this morning. Then, about 8am this morning there was a lot of screaming and it was fairly obvious a fight had broken out. I ran outside in my dressing gown and saw a Swift fall to the floor via the hedge which it tried, but failed, to cling on to. I went to pick it up but after a bit of a struggle where it floor straight into my car, it eventually took off. Swifts were back in there again tonight.
