Our old bought one got smashed in the recent high winds. Looks bang on we think :)

It worked before. Just couldn't see the point of paying £25 for something we could build ourselves.  ;)

Weve got 6 feeders in the Hawthorne, set about right so the pigeons are too fat to get in.  The amount of smaller birds is incredible, well it was until the female Sparrowhawk turned up.

Hmm, I put 4 bird feeders (1 fat balls, 1 seed and 2 peanut) on side of shed three weeks ago and seen no interest in them at all!  :(

You're supposed to put them on the outside of the shed...

Strange that though Alsatian I tried a feeder on the side of the shed and they haven't used them, also on the side of the extension - the finches did use their feeder but the other was left un touched - sadly I lost the finches when some trees were cut down  :(
