My starlings curse
Hi,
So I have a feeding station with
2 peanut feeders
1 Sunflower hearts feeder
1 suet block
I had about 10 starlings always making loud noise and fighting over the suet block. Had a couple of parakeets and some tits as well on the sunflower hearts and peanuts.
I removed the suet block as the starlings were causing havoc, but as soon as the starlings stopped coming, the rest of the birds also stopped. So I was forced to put the suet block back. It's like they are part of a union.
Also, anyone know why some if yheof the tits keep in dropping the sunflower hearts

I absolutely love them!
I often wondered if this was normal behaviour (i.e, on their own quite happy to share, utter thugs when mob handed) or, if one of them was actually quite laid back when alone and only 'showed off' when its mates were around.
Nice enough birds, but there's only room for one noisy pest in my garden, me!
