Instant success from the first moment I used it. Good construction, easy to maintain. Metal squirrel-proof feeder. Its been chewed and gnawed but still justifies the description squirrel-proof. Always popular with tits, but also with starlings, greenfinch, and siskin.
Peanuts seem to be the staple food of the garden birds.
They become more attractive as other food sources dwindle. Monkey nuts Threaded on a shoe lace and attached to the hedge. For some reason blue tits and coal tits seem to prefer to take their food in this way rather than the much simpler peanut feeder. Cheese Fed from the bird table. Popular with finches, starlings and collared doves.
