Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
We have a couple of those "squirrel proof" feeders which work well.
We sometimes grease the poles and get some entertainment from that.
AND.....I have an air rifle.


I have an air rifle as well. I also have neighbour that cries like a girly if you so much as step on a bug let alone do anything else. I have squirrel proof ones as well. Might have to see about greasing the pole as well. And if that doesn't sound like a euphemism I don't know what does. :laugh:

Generally 'Premium' seed mix with suet pellets along with mealworms and suet blocks. Despite having 6 cats the 'death toll' is not that high amongst the sparrows but then they grew up with cats around so they know how to cope.

They absolutely ignore my worms. I have a tame robin that follows me around when I dig and disturb things in the garden and it can see the worms but leaves them alone.
A vegetarian Robin, perhaps? ;)

Goldfinches LOVE Niger seeds.
Mealworms are taken by Magpies, blackbirds, starlings, robins and any other insect eaters
A suet block in my garden is eaten in less than a day by starlings
Blue tits and great tits eat suet balls, pellets and blocks (when they can get near them!)
Sparrows and finches will take mixed seeds. I get a big sack from Wilkos, which has a lot of wheat in it, and add peanuts (the pigeons & doves like them), black and striped sunflower seeds, mealworms, suet sticks and some better quality mixed seeds to improve the overall quality.
