Default Squirrel-proof bird feeders

Do chuck out some sultanas occasionally, though. Quite apart from anything

that's how poachers lure pheasants and certainly, I've seen them go quite
dipsy over a handful of sultanas!


Ah, thanks for this, Sacha! Sultanas, eh? We used to feed them corn
but it didn't help when I came to take aim - during the pheasant season,
of course! Now, if sultanas make them "go quite dipsy", then sultanas
could be the aid I clearly need!

Hee, hee, hee!
