I've lived in the Northeast (NY, NJ, PA) all my life, and both starlings and English sparrows are, to say the least, common in all of them. (The gypsy moth seems less so; I don't see its tents all the time, just here and there.) What we can do about the moths I don't know; do we have any notion of what eats them in their native land? Can it be introduced? As for winged things, let's encourage hawks! I'm seeing a lot less pigeons around downtown since several predatory birds moved in.
