    Default crows

    I am so fed up with them! We regularly put out food for the birds and the children love to watch them, but recently we seem to have loads of crows which gobble up everything and scare away the littler birds

    Maybe I am using the wrong type of feeders? Any ideas anyone?

    wouldn't that scare away all the birds? LOL

    Use half coconut shells or feeders with a small balance bar so only the smaller birds can get the food.

    Think scarecrows is a good idea though!

    looks like I will have to change my feeders! i have a flat tray, and a little house feeder for seed, i also hang up some fat balls.

    Maybe I should try those squirrel proof ones
