Hello and welcome to this short video that I hope will help you to deter big birds from your precious food feeders for small birds. Magpie, pigeon, lesus spotted woodpecker, all of those have come to my feeder recently, pigeons being the worst of all and they will hang on and eat all the food and even something rare like a lesus spotted woodpecker will pop in. My suggestion is that you try using a Gardman Universal Squirrel Baffle to ward off larger birds from your small bird food feeder. Whilst perfect for ensuring that squirrels won't get at your food, nonetheless it has other uses and here's one that I tried. I tried putting it right down low over the food to ensure that only the little birds could get up underneath and ensure that they could feed uninterrupted throughout the year. So once in place, snig down over the top of the food and re-hang in the garden, the birds will continue to come and enjoy the food that you put out without the larger birds interrupting their feeding. In a moment a pigeon will arrive, it's very unhappy, it can't land and never did land, neither did the spotted woodpecker nor a magpie's. I hope this has helped you, please subscribe and like if you've enjoyed this short video, all the best and bye for now.
