We had just this problem last year with pigeons getting bigger and
bigger and keeping out the small birds. This year the seeds are in small
hanging feeders. Only the small birds will hang on these and it seems to
be succeeding. The pigeons sit on the roof looking but rarely land and
then only get a few seeds the small birds drop.
We are getting sparrows, chaffinches, greefinches, tits & wrens regularly.
