Don't bother with the clear plastic tube feeders, all the birds do is
scatter the seed all over the ground, they grow and you have a weed
problem.

If you remember to microwave each batch of seed for about a minute before
you put it into the feeder, the seeds will be inactivated and you won't
have a weed problem.

Thank you Anne. That means I can bring back into commission a feeder which I
haven't used for a long time. It is a Green Metal one which a curved plastic
front which fixes to a post. This one has a bar across the front so the
Robin might appreciate it ;-)

A pair of Bluetits have just been on the Peanuts. I am convinced they are
pairing up. Anyone else any thoughts on this?
