What kind of bird feeder will feed birds up to cardinal or Blue-Jay sized birds but will not allow pigeons to feed on it? I would like it to be mounted on a pole with a squirrel baffle.

Herritage Farm http://www.heritagefarms.biz/birdfeeders/ makes bird feeders that act very much like a normal bird table but have a weight-controlled closing system. Anything that is too heavy that lands on the perch will close the feeders and the different settings allow for different bird weights.

I was looking at these myself but they aren't available in the UK (Irritatingly!), but I found a similar model that needed somer modification to actually be pigeon proof! These feeders don't look as if they allow the birds to perch on the lid that closes over the food though as it is sloping so it may be better than mine!

Hope this helps!

thanks for the tip.

As a follow up I did purchase the adjustable squirrel proof feeder so we'll see how that goes. The pole is a bit short so I am going to try it without the baffle to see if it truly is squirrel proof.

Hope it works!
