Hi, so I'll make a long story short and cut to the chase, I'm looking for a bird feeder that only chickadees can use, I have a very bad house sparrow infestation, I've switched to sunflower seeds and I put up a magic halo to no avail, I know there is a bird feeder where only one species can go up at a time since chickadees only go one at a time, or one where they hang upside down to feed. I live in Victoria BC can someone send a link or find the name of the specified feeder I'm looking for I would greatly apprieciate it.
 
Actually, you might try switching to sunflower hearts and or Safflower seed for a bit. The chickadees love the safflower and the hearts but the House Sparrows, not so much. They should move on.
