Peanuts for Birds
"Mike Coon" wrote in message ... "Paul England" wrote in message ... I have found in the past, that as soon as peanuts go a little damp, they soon desert you in favour of the neighbours food. This year, I unscrewed the supporting bracket and moved the feeder under a lean-too porch. I put a cowling over my cylindrical wire mesh feeder, made of a 2l drink bottle. I hope it keeps the rain off except for the bottom couple of inches left for the birds to get to. Mike. -- If reply address = connectfee, add an r because it is free not fee. Yes, in previous years, I used a mesh feeder which held approx 500 grams, with a blocked funnel on top. But in winter, I found that after 3 or 4 days, the damp seeped throughout the feeder. Using a new feeder which provides whole nuts, is a big hit with them. However, I must remember to stop when the young are in the nest in spring. Does anyone know when they start nesting ? Regards ........ Paul |
