Peanut feeders

[tigger]

I must admit I feed sunflower hearts and a fatfeeder all year round... no nuts.

Nothing seems to like my mesh feeder so I picked up one that is like a square plastic bottle that you turn upside down and empties into a tray underneath.
It keeps the peanuts from getting damp and is great for crushed nuts. The only problem is that you have to twist off the plastic perches and jam them into slots in the base and they sometimes move when larger birds try to get to the peanuts.
The smaller tits and finches love it though.

When breeding season comes up we change our feed to lard cakes containing insects and meal worms. I also get the big tubs of dried mealworms and soak them in warm water before serving. As a consequence, we have the fattest youngsters with the most shiny plumage in the village, I suspect .
