Been having a few new ones in my garden this last couple of weeks and had 2 bullie cocks in for the first time ever,i've got a old branch and drill a few big holes in it with a brace and bit and i pack the holes with old seed and lard and the blackies love it as do the robin,dunnocks,great tits,blue tits,long tailed tits and chaffies who visit during the day.Don't need to keep any soft bills myself with that lot on my patio ,but saying that not seen a thrush here for a good while now . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 just emptied 2 sacks of wild bird seed on the field infront of the spinny, might make the pheasents picky but should keep some of the native birds going for a few days might even get some fuzzy pictures tomorrow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 10,774 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I've been saving a sack full of aviary floor sweeping for this sort of weather,couldn't bring myself just to bin it as there's to much uneaten seed in it,see if i can coax some sparrows down to it as i have dozens live in the ivy on my house but they never feed off my bird table or feeders until they have chicks then the buggers smash it in minuets . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You should get hold of a winnowing machine mate! There's a real old one still in my granddad's shed, he used to save a load of seed with it IIRC.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
