My starlings are too damned smart. A while ago they learned how to hang
upside down on my suet which I hang face-down to discourage them. Now
they are hanging upside down on my niger feeder and cleaning out the
niger seeds. I'll have to build a cage around the feeder so that small
birds can get in but the starlings can't.
I removed the seed tray from the sunflower feeder to discourage
pigeons. Now they are holding on to the seed tube and eating while they
flap constantly to stay there.
