CJ warn that the feed doesn't flow so well in the feeder and is
satisfactory only where you have a high turnover. Have you found this to

when the food dosen't get eaten too quickly from my feeders I put some dried meal worms etc. in this encourages a wider range of birds to feed, especially robins and wrens. the food soon gets eaten, so prehaps you could change the food mix.
