Hello,
To set the scene I've got several feeders, but the one I will speak about today is one outside my bedroom window as seen in the attachment below.
generally speaking I do not like to discriminate against birds and up until recently I've been appreciating the presence of pigeons who would quite often tidy up and pick up all the seeds that the little birds drop.
However, the pigeons recently have become quite aggressive to each other and started to engage in fights. They also get spooked quite easily (annoying if you're taking photos of the little birdies) and for some reason their wing flapping is surprisingly loud (even compared to other larger birds).
Fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07U9lobp-S4
To make it even better, some geniuses have even figured out how to help themselves to the feeder, which is really taking the piss now :eek!: Although, I do appreciate their intelligence
Helping himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgLbOrTid7w
I have thought that I could potentially instal a few wires/strings going from one end to the other to make it uncomfortable for them to sit on the sill, but I do not really want to prevent the smaller birds or even an occasional Blackbird, Starling or even a Seagull (they're surprisingly well behaved) from sitting down.
Anyone had a similar issue?
