Re: It`s them pesky starlings again

I agree with Keyleigh, Eco. I had terrible trouble keeping Magpies and Woodies off of my 'fatballs' and seedfeeders. I've had to rethink the whole setup, and I have arranged things as best as I can, to allow the larger birds to feed seperately from the smaller birds. If there's anything the larger birds can perch on and attack the seedfeeders etc, you'll need to move them. They can't cling on to the feeders, although it's comical watching the Magpies trying. They are so clever, and now and then they have managed to get a foothold. The food does last longer now, however, and the Tits etc have remained largely undisturbed.
