Re: Off Topic: bird feeders. Wot you got?

We've got a mix of feeders here, wire, plastic tube and fat ball feeders. I find that the mixed seed goes really quick with this ,three times emptied in two days. Peanuts seem slower this year. Stopped the fat balls due to crows and magpies.
Tend to buy from Wilko or Home Bargains
