I'm so glad I got extra pyracantha bushes to keep the blackbirds happy πŸ˜†
@GinaT86 Ha! They strip my holly bush too. Luckily they cant reach all parts of it ... because they weigh about the same as a small dog!
@Sarah111well it is definitely hilarious watching them try to balance delicately while a branch struggles with their weight πŸ˜‚

@GinaT86 @Sarah111well I had a problem with wood pigeons eating all the food in the dish of my bird feeder, so I put the spare dish holder ring about 20cm above the dish - pigeons can't fit in the gap underneath, but the dish of food is too far below if they perch on the top ring...

Except for my determined pigeon who just faceplants into the dish of food, with its tail and bum sticking up in the air, and happily guzzles away on the food πŸ˜‚

@teapot_ben @Sarah111well sounds like half pigeon half squirrel, that one! 😁
