If that is the case, the fact that it has survived and developed successfully so far will hopefully mean it can live a normal life but let's hope it never looks in a mirror! Thanks for Bird Table News I love reading it regularly and please don't think when there is no feedback that no one is visiting I'm sure there are many like myself who generally read but don't comment very often. Love Jan Hi Trish,

Share the wild birds out a bit 50% for her and 50% for me! This morning I had the mad thought that it would be nice if I could tell some of my birds to go to her garden.

The answer is to shoot them. (18 so far). I no longer have the pests, and now have lots of birds visiting the bird tables. I too have trouble with Grey Squirrels.

I now have out the same feeders as before in the same places, but no birds! This has been going on for 2 months. I have lots of robins, but only occasional birds at the feeders. I used to have so many birds I almost went broke buying bird seed! What's wrong? Jana I restarted feeding birds in my backyard after 6 months of not feeding them.

Will definitely get one. It will be great seeing the birds close up. I like taking photos and will enjoy trying to take photos of them close up. I tried this morning to take a photo of a thrush through my half open kitchen window and nearly fell over the paper rack in the process! Thanks for the advice.

Ours is quite popular with the Blue Tits, though the Starlings do occasionally like to try their hand at getting the food also. It took a while for the birds to use it, but it's great seeing the little birdies up close. Great camera opportunity too!
