Hi Donna
I see that Vesey's Seeds sells a Globe feeder that seems to work very
well. It is a round cage with a tube feeder in the middle. The cage
allows the small birds in but even stops starlings with their long
bills. It is only for sunflower or mixed seed. I want one with a niger
tube feeder inside. The starlings hang on to the side of my niger
feeder and eat all of the seeds.
I thought I had the suet problem fixed by leaving it in the plastic case
and hanging it upside down. Chickadees and woodpeckers will fly up
underneath it to feed. Unfortunately, the starlings learned to do that too.
