I am so very impressed by all the work you are doing and I am anxious to try some of your recipes. I am a pretty good cook but unfortunately, cooking is not my forte. You sound like you are having a "marvelous time" with your endeavor. I would love to correspond with you when you have the time. Am so sorry I can't help you with the birds. I have the same problem with squerrils. Look forward to hearing from you. Love, Joyce Hi Emily, Robbie told me about your website.

You can try a feeder that makes it hard for the larger birds to eat from. You can see them on the link below: http://www.birdfeeders.com/store/wild-bird-feeders/151 If you look you will notice how close the hole where the bird eats from is to the peg they stand on. This makes is very hard for larger birds to eat from if not impossible. Cardinals and other larger birds have some issues eating from them as well but they tend to be small enough to make it work with a little effort. Them getting a little food is better than none! Your smaller birds like the house finch, chickadee, tufted titmouse, etc will be able to eat with ease from this type of feeder. For suet feeding a feeder as shown below will help stop the larger birds from eating it. http://www.duncraft.com/Duncraft-Suet-Sanctuary--P2369C197.aspx They will still be able to get around the edges of the suet but at least they won't be able to get it all. Good luck and I hope you can get these guys under control so you can resume your bird watching! Black birds and starlings sure do have voracious apatites don’t they?
