The one time I like when starlings invade our feeders is when the seed and suet is old, because they will clean up almost everything in a short period of time.

Interesting facts from the internet:

Starlings are highly vocal and are only silent when molting. The males are known to make creaking, warbling, clicking, gurgling, and chirrup sounds.

European Starlings, in general, also do whistling, chattering and jumbled warbling. They can make harsh trills, smooth liquid sounds, and rattles. They are also known to be mimics and often copy the sounds of other birds and even frogs. Their mimics also include meadowlarks, jays, and hawks.
