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. :-(




I use 2 hanging baskets on edge to partially protect my feeders
