    My lifeless feeder

    While black sunflower is popular in my garden, nothing beats sunflower hearts. Can't give any form of peanuts away though.

    Fatal Aggression

    Having lost several Robins over the years to the attentions of other Robins I would say the intention was not to help.

    Suggestions for my 1st bird feeder

    I have found the Squirrel Buster brand works very well. In fact the squirrels gave up shortly after I installed them.

    My one and only Christmas treat was a couple of minutes sighting of a Woodpecker on the fatball feeder.

    Very Simple Bird Feeder

    Silly thing was that I was quite casual about the squirrels stealing food. It was the destruction that sealed their fate.

    Very Simple Bird Feeder

    I find peanut kernels are almost a dead loss. By far the most popular is the sunflower hearts, followed by black sunflower and fatballs. Having lost several feeders to squirrels I purchased a couple of Squirrel Buster feeders and the squirrels gave up within a coupke of days. Not seen them...

    Aggressive robin

    No need to - my resident Robin found the door mirror on my car for himself!

    Aggressive robin

    You could try hanging a small mirror (budgie cage variety or similar) near the feeders. That might enrage him and keep him occupied while the others feed.

    Bird feeder help please

    Having suffered a lot of squirrel damage to my feeders I recently spent a bit extra and bought Squirrel Buster feeders. They are a little different in appearance so I expected the birds to take time getting used to them. In fact there was a Blue Tit inspecting and feeding on one before I got...

    How to get pigeons away?

    I have both Pigeons (Woodies) and Doves in my garden but have never seen any at the feeders. They hang around under the feeders and pick up most of the spillage.

    Jos, do you happen to know what the Kasmu cam shows us? Can't work out whether it's a farm, holiday park, or whatever.

    where have the birds gone?

    A lot of the (numerous) House Sparrows here went missing a couple of weeks ago, but seem to be drifting back.

    Blackbird Behaviour

    I have had a resident family of Blackbirds, and their descendants, here for over 30 years. One thing I have learned in that time is that they do not have 'normal' behaviour that can be relied on from year to year. Also, some have been hand feeding tame whilst most are slightly trusting...

    Anti-social (yet intelligent) pigeons

    I don't know if it's testosterone kicking in but the Woodies who hang around here have been having very loud 'woo hoo hoo' contests from dawn to dusk this last week. I like them but they are beginning to put a strain on our relationship.
