He probably watched you put it up, it's a wonder he didn't try to help, they're so cheeky.

We have a couple of bowls of seed and peanuts at the top of the garden which the big birds visit. At the bottom of the garden we have some hanging feeders, the little birds use these.

We have to be carefull what we put out, next doors garden is like a land fill site,and it encourages vermin, it wouldnt be the first time we've shot rats after the bird food thats been dropped.

it's bad news when you have neighbours like that Jo. Usually it's the people that are vermin. Unless they are incapable of tidying it.

He is suppose to have crumbling of the spine ,but he built a10 by 6 shed from scratch on his own in three days, I couldnt do that, also put a lot of decking down round his pond that he dug out.

The plastic suction grip type for sticking on windows are good for small birds. Pigeons can't get near them.

Ever since the number of Red Kites in this area has increased (there are now at least 6), the number of pigeons has gone down. I know that kites are scavengers and (unfortunately) won't actually kill the pigeons, but I think they are very wary of the much larger bird circling, and it does tend to keep them away.
