Starlins taking over tree hollows

I am fortunate to have two old white box gums, with plenty of hollows for nesting, in my house yard. Unfortunately starlings are taking over all the hollows and nesting over and over again. As soon as one finishes brooding another starts. Any ideas on how to get them to share it out a bit. I would prefer the galahs and parrots we had last year.

Shaunlee unfortunately all you could really do would be to remove the nesting material from the hollow - requires a lot of persistance though.
