Mystery bird food raider! (4 Viewers)

I think that he could work out how to remove balls, but if you could arrange them so that he could not land and perch, then maybe that would stop him unhooking of feeders. I think garden wire should have more chance of working than string, but you will need to make sure the sharp ends are well tucked in.
 
Well it's been a week and all feeders are intact and have remained hanging. The garden wire seems to have done the trick. Thank you all for your suggestions.

We've attracted the attention of some starlings in the last few days though, and the small birds are struggling to get near the food with them, so onto the next problem! :p
