| Re: my food is going down so quickly!!
during the summer I had trouble keeping our starlings in fat balls (at about 30 a week), I had to stop putting them out mainly due to the mess but once removed the birds just stopped comming even though I have about 5 other feeders hanging around the garden. It wasnt just the starlings that stopped goldfinch, green finch, blue and grey tits, sparrows the lot.
I have started to put one or two fat balls out again and although they themselves are not being eaten something, although I haved not spotted what it is yet, has started eating from the seed feeders. I only hope this is the first sign of the birds returning. |
