They're driving me mad at the moment, they've learnt how to perch on the fat-ball feeder and it's a case of peck, peck, peck, suck and they fly of with half a fat-ball in their beaks. I've tried putting the big plastic sprung plant clips all over the feeder but no help so I've left the nets on for now which does slow them down a bit. :-(
