window. If I get enough visitors I might try a window feeder.
Thanks all.
Sparrows are in decline, so try to appreciate them ;-)
If it's a woodpigeon not a collared dove, try bird seed which has no cereal in it. Long tailed tits will come to fat, and they're worth encouraging because they're relatively unbothered by humans. And they're lovely.
