Re: Help please! Bird table attracting thugs!

If you have Starlings around you and you put food out they will come. If you were to put your feeders elswhere you may keep the smaller birds on them whilst the Starlings stay on the table. Mind you Starlings love fat balls also. Perhaps keeping some fat balls by the table then some others further away with your repositioned feeders might balance it out.

Personnaly I love the Starlings, especially when the youngsters are out. They are brash, noisy and skittish and their antics make me laugh. They can also be incredibly good photographic subjects.
