Blackbird eating peanuts from a hanging bird feeder

Apr 4th, 2008 by Birdy Trish

I’ve just seen a photograph of a blackbird clinging to a feeder trying to eat the peanuts inside.

I’ve never seen that before.

Blackbirds are supposed to be ground feeding birds although I do get them on my bird table a lot.

Has anyone else heard or seen blackbirds clinging onto peanut feeders?
