Re: Jack Daw monopolizing my bird table

We have 6 jackdaws hanging around, at the moment they are no probblem and just the odd one comes in now and again and Like Paul Mabbott said, fly off as soon as I'm in sight. But as soon as they have young, they come in and take everything even clinging on to the peanut feeders and are alot braver.
To help combat this I put the ground food a bit out of sight where the ground feeders go naturally under some shrubs.
As for your table and the feeder problem, apart from one of the cages to surround them I don't know.
It costs a fortune over this period but I dont like to let the blackbirds down as thet are constant visitors throughout the year and have young too.
Good luck with your problem Jackdaws.
