Following the strong winds of yesterday and this a.m. we have had a flock of sparrows in the garden, apparently feeding on fallen seeds. Since we have masses of aqualegia, doronicum etc. which are going over perhaps we might gather the seed heads and use the seeds to attract the smaller birds, rather than putting them in the 'green' bin.

Thank you all for welcoming me to the site and for your good advice.
As mentioned, I will definately still put out food for all birds, just want the smaller ones to get a look in too!!
The starlings love the general bird seed, but don't seem to be attacking the sunflower hearts quite so much.
Best Wishes

Hi Pam and welcome to WAB!
I have had the same problem with the starlings as you, but at least the little birds get a look-in on the seed and nut feeders - the Starlings will wolf down any suet slabs put out - they are demolished pretty quickly!
I even put out two halves of a coconut this year .... and both of these were stolen by squirrels!! I looked out of the kitchen window and the little blighter was hopping across the lawn with his teeth into the rim of the coconut ... having first climbed the feeder pole and bitten his way through the string it was dangling from!
They really are cheeky sods, those grey squirrels ...  |

Hello Pam
A warm welcome to WAB.
It sounds like you are really enjoying attracting the birds to your garden. Unfortunately I live in a second floor flat so I do not have that pleasure. Keep up the good work.
