Bird Seed Feeder
From: "Mike" Subject: Bird Seed Feeder Date: 29 November 2005 10:44 Mike do you have any peanut hangers in your garden? We have two and that attracts the Bluetits and Greenfinches. They also go through the wire netting to get to the birdseed. With regards Collared Doves and Pigeons, I don't encourage them at all, a couple of near neighbours put stuff out and they swoop in there. Statlings attack a fat seed ball I have up and anything which goes on the ground, such as aload of Pitta Bread which has been in the freezer for yonks and was taking up space. Deter the Doves and Pigeons and the tits and finches will turn up. Do you deter the cat population? They must be removed and allow the birds to use your garden Mike --- Yes Mike, I have two peanut containers, a wire mesh type and a clear plastic long tube type, and one lantern style bird seed feeder. As luck would have it, after posting my last message, I spotted a blue and a coal tit on one of the feeders. The biggest threat to all our smaller birds is a female sparrowhawk whose diet thank goodness, mainly consists of collared doves and house sparrows. Perhaps I should be posting my messages to uk.rec.birdwatching! Mike (Roscoe) |
