Guest little_lloyd Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I have a few bird feeders dotted around the garden. I was in countrywide yesterday when i picked up one for £2.99 and also a bag of complete bird mix also for £2.99 Reading on the back it said 'do not place feeders next to nesting boxes' Why is this?

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Reading on the back it said 'do not place feeders next to nesting boxes' Why is this? Put simply, Lloyd; How would you like to live in a works canteen? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popgun 0 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 If the feeder is close to the nesting box it will attract vermin to the nest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
