Starling-proof bird feeder does the trick.

Easy ordering and prompt delivery. This is a solid product that does the job as advertised. Small birds feeding freely while the starlings are kept away.

Thank you so much for taking time to write a review and share a photo too! I'm so happy to hear that the feeder is working well and that the little birds are getting to eat!

not quite parakeet-proof wthout modifications

Excellent feeder. Sturdy, good design, easy to take apart and clean (very important!) The rain guard works well. The seed tray prevents food and poo landing on our shrub below, as well as the wider patio. That helps keep wood pigeons and squirrels away. (Incidentally, the squirrels took one look at the feeder and didn't even try.) BUT the parakeets still get their little green heads stuck into the feeding ports. So I covered the squares in the metal cage facing the ports (2 squares per port) with bubblepack and strong tape. This won't hurt any birds, but unfortunately it does limit our view of the smaller birds somewhat, since the tape is not transparent. The parakeets try to pull it off but have failed. They have spent quite a lot of time crawling all over the feeder trying to get in, but we're hopeful that, since they're fairly smart, they will soon realise it's a waste of time and give up visiting. As long as I keep the seed tray cleared out, they shouldn't be hanging around. Also good to know - nuthatches can easily squeeze into the feeding space, along with tits, robins and the occasional daring dunnock. One other thing - I checked the manufacturer's own website, and buying the feeder, rain guard and metal surround directly from them was more expensive than at A Little Bird Co. Also, they'd sold out of the metal surrounds. So please help support Clare's small business and buy from her. You'll also get a free packet of her own birdseed mix.

Thank you so much for the detailed review, Terry, and for encouraging people to buy directly from me! I really appreciate your support. It sounds like you've found an ingenious solution to the parakeets - thank you so much for sharing. I'm really pleased that your nuthatches still get to feed - it's really important that we support them! Thank you again for supporting my small business!

It is squirrel proof!

Although I was reluctant to spend over £80 on a bird feeder I was frustrated at the amount of food eaten by squirrels and sometimes starlings.
The feeder is large and very robust , the blue tits love it , the robins are still a bit wary but gaining in confidence to use it . The squirrels spent a disproportionate amount of time in the first week trying to find a way in. They can just, with difficulty, reach the tray to eat the discarded food and although still trying, their visits are greatly reduced .
I can fully justify the purchase now.

Thank you so much for the great review - I'm so pleased that it's made such a big difference in your garden and that you're happy with the investment. It's great that the birds have found it straight away too!

Wonderful Company!

I came across A Little Bird Co at Chelsea Flower show and ordered a Pigeon Proof feeder. The communication after ordering was personal and the feeder is great. I have since ordered some bird feed ftom the website which was really easy go do.
All in all - lovely company, great products, great service!

Thank you so much for such a lovely review! I'm so happy to hear that the feeder is working well and that you've found it easy to order the food too. Thank you for supporting my small business!
