This Birds Australia link shows how to build nest boxes with entry hole sizes designed for particular bird species smaller than a starling or mynah. Also includes a design for the anti-Myha baffle which would discourage starlings too. I have built one which worked to discourage mynahs from a nest box for the Eastern Rosella.
