Starlings eat misqutios, a lot of birds do, bats do too, put up a bat house...
Put out bird seed & attract them.
Get rid of all standing water, if you have a pond, get misquito tablets for that. Bug strips.
Birds, bats & standing water elimination are the best though...

Bats eat mosquitos, so if there are any bats around build bat houses to encourage them to live nearby. Also, citronella repels mosquitos and you can get several types of products, like candles, that will help to keep the mosquitos away. Be certain that any containers outside that might collect water are overturned, because standing water gives mosquitos a place to breed.

Pour Joy dish soap in a round platter and place in yard to keep them away for hours. There are no mosquito eating birds. They like to lay eggs in water. Bug zappers help too along with spraying yourself with a repellent. Try Yard Guard to spray around the yard perimeter.

Leaving a throw away tin pie pan with some water and some dish soap does work a little. But mosquito's love citrus but hate quinine (aka tonic, like gin and tonic). Leave dishes of tonic with lime pieces laying around and that should help.

I don't know about certain birds but I do know that bats eat mosquitos...build some bat houses and put them up around your yard.

Ask at your local garden center for "mosquito dunks"- non-toxic bricks or doughnut shapes that you put in any standing water to kill the mosquito larvae. Also, clean your gutters, and dump out any standing water that you can, every week.

Bats eat mosquitos. Dragonflies eat them, etc.
Keep all standing water out of containers, etc.
Put out citronella candles

Put out a couple shallow bowls of water with dish soap in them.
The lemon smell attracts mosquitos. They will fall in and drown.
