    Problem pigeons!

    Help! Suburbia has been invaded by these NYC "sophisticates"! Our feeder is regularly visited by a couple dozen who park themselves on our roof or the neighbor's trees! Even though we switched to a "weight-sensitive" metal feeder, the grackles, etc., bring the seed down to the ground for our...

    Goldfinches?

    Nasty Woodpeckers!

    Nasty Woodpeckers, pt.2 Thanks, Katy! Been "feeding" for some 30 years and never saw such "violence"! I DO have a "mesh" feeder holding only "oilers" - but this guy likes to cling on to the side of my "anti-squirrel" tube (covered with 1/2" mesh) containing a mixture of seeds. The "little...

    Nasty Woodpeckers!

    Hi! I'm having trouble with Red-Bellied Woodpeckers at my birdfeeder. They are very aggressive and kill the smaller birds who compete for the seeds. Is there a better feeder to stop this "carnage"? Thanks, ...Jayanem.
