Tit feeders

[PositronicRay]

Mrs Ray loves to watch the birds, but mobbed by starlings whenever food goes out.

Is there a feeder which small garden birds can access but will exclude starlings and pigeons?

There are some examples of feeders for small birds here. (Other suppliers are available )

I think B&M do budget versions.

I have seen crows/ravens do flying attacks to knock them around then hoover up the food that's fallen out....

Thought I'd stumbled onto mumsnet for a second.

Yup, we've swapped out feeders to ones with small holes and perches, Wilco sell them for £2. Now just tits and sparrows

Edit: Ah £1.50 for the plastic

I've had one of these in the garden for donkeys years they're surprisingly long lasting for such a modest price.
