Message: [QUOTE="Sean Regan, post: 150963, member: 5841"] As well as the blackbirds, robins, great and blue tits and dunnocks which visit our feeders we have a family of starlings. We started off with a pair, they had some young so now in the mornings six of them blitz the feeder on the side of a pergola post. They throw the seed everywhere. Sometimes four cram themselves under the roof of the feeder and two will hang onto the one on the support beam.

The pigeons can't get at it as I put a row of canes along the edge of the border. The pigeons can't get between them, but the smaller birds can. [/QUOTE]
