What sort of bird feeders do people have in their gardens? I have the one shown on the attached photo (we call it the monstrosity), as well as five other feeders for peanuts, one for mixed seed, and two for mealworms that only tits and robins can access. The tubes on the monstrosity are 33cm long, and the one with the black sunflower seeds needs to be re-filled every 2 or 3 days.
As well as these I have one squirrel-proof bird table, and two ground feeder tables that are used more by squirrels than anything else. I buy food in bulk, and store it in plastic dustbins in the garage - necessary because of the mice.
On another forum, someone posted a list of how much bird food he used each week - I costed it out and it came to £20!!! Since then I have been putting more food out for my poor deprived little birds.
