I struggled with the parakeets literally decimating the bird feeders within an hour. I tried squirrel proof ones to see if they helped, but they jammed their claws in the mechanism to stop it closing. Then the pigeons managed to do the same. I spent a long time researching the best ideas and came across something on Pinterest. Someone had used a metal dog cage and attached it to a wooden platform. So that's what I did! Once set up, you just hang the feeders inside. Large birds like pigeons and parakeets cannot get inside. I get all the small birds, plus starlings. Not many thrushes or blackbirds around, so have no idea if they could get in. The squirrels do! It's amazing watching them slide through narrow gaps. I also covered the roof of the cage with a piece of plastic to keep the rain off, plus I am just about to replace the cage plastic base with something more mesh like. It can get a bit gooey after a while, so with mesh, all the dropped seed from the messy goldfinches, will go on to the ground where the pigeons can clear up. I even added a birdcam. -
Yep, of course I do - did you not read the bit from the survey about the noise having a negative impact on foraging bats? And like @Angelina I'm aware it affects other people, and if no one complains then it gives them an argument that's it's all ok. The tree in question was a cherry that everyone loves, didn't need to be touched, and the council admitted was a mistake and shouldn't have happened. The council and Gala use the 'local' narrative as a benefit, without any figures to back it up. It is used as an argument for the event to go ahead, when there's no basis of fact. The attendees are clearly not local as they've proved they don't give a **** about the area. The council do tell us where the money is spent - 100% on running the Events dept, and a myriad of unlisted free events. They just don't tell us how much, so that we can make an informed decision on whether the gain is with the pain. Sorry, what was your point again? -
Leon came this evening and did a small job. He was able to fit me, which I’m grateful for. He arrived when he said he would. Very professional & friendly guy, offered great advice and very reasonable prices. Highly recommend Leon! 👍 -
