RESIDENTS of Macmillan Close in Hereford came under siege – from starlings.

The Daily Star reports that thousands of the birds blitzed the neighbourhood with their droppings before roosting in nearby trees.

One resident, Steve Payne, said: “The street and pavements are covered in bird muck, which is a safety hazard if people slip on it. You can’t put washing out and we are having to clean our cars every day.”
