Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tree Sparrow" data-source="post: 1437892" data-attributes="member: 68728">Now that's how I'd love my feeders to look like, full of tree sparrows!............don't worry about the pic quality, (actually I thought it was very good) all mine are through the window too lol.I have mixed seed and nuts on offer, I tried niger seed but it just seemed to blow away even with a niger feeder.  They are kept topped up all year round.  (What on earth are weekends away and holidays :-O, I can't remember when I last had either of those).This is only the second year I've had them here so I really hope they'll stick around.My attempts at making a nesting box have resulted in a black thumb nail, a rather pathetic nest box and (luckily) a husband who has promised to make a proper one tomorrow :t:.I hope your new roof doesn't put off the swifts and sparrows, these things have to be repaired, sounds like they've got lots of other options in your garden.Still just the 3 here at the moment, they all fly off together if disturbed and I'm trying to see where they head off to.  I'll probably put a nest box up on the tree they nested in last year and another in an area that they head to.TS</blockquote>
