We have one container with nothing but sunflower seeds in it and the
greenfinches found it within one day. Now they and the bluetits battle
it out! The other seed containers are emptied almost every day. But the
fat balls and peanuts are virtually ignored.

The fat balls go when it is very cold. The large birds Jays, Parakeets
etc. eat the peanuts.

Yes, jays will pick up bits and pieces left around but we don't have
parakeetes!
