    Winter residents

    I had my first green parakeet this week. Plenty of them around here in South East London but first time I've seen one at my feeders. Also one of the peanut feeder was destroyed recently - I wonder now if it was the parakeet rather than the usual squirrels that did it.

    Nyjer seed killing my lawn

    Anyone know how to stop squirrels from sucking out the nyger? I added paprika a year ago but that meant the finches stopped coming too.

    Goldcrest

    I had my first ever goldcrest today as well. Not timid at all as I approached to as close as 4 feet away to watch it hop around the feeding area, mainly pecking at the fat balls.

    Young Starlings are here, have you any!

    2 baby starlings and a family of great tits over the last week and a half. Marvellous.

    Goldfiches and my nijer feeder?

    Sparrow Problems

    House sparrows and pigeons are all I'm getting at the moment and lots of them! The tits, blackbirds, starlings and robins I had earlier in the year have all disappeared. Not sure if it's the fact that there's so many cats around in this good weather. The sparrows are a mixed blessing. I like...

    Can I out smart a squirrel? Read this!

    After years of trying to stop them and watching them destroy even supposedly squirrel proof feeders (apart from the Nuttery mentioned previously) I just put out a squirrel box at the point where all the squirrels enter my garden. Problem solved. They happily use that and never come to the...

    Grackle killing and eating sparrows

    Very entertaining thread - learnt a lot about creativity in feeding and psychanalysing our feathered f(r)iends! ;)

    Caged feeders -- squirrel proof?

    I've got one called the Nuttery that the squirrels ignore even though it's full of nuts. It's one of those metal bar caged style ones and the tits use it regularly. The best solution I've found though was just to buy a squirrel feeder and nail it close to their route to my other feeders...
