I always find that a dab of Hai Karate helps attract the birds.

Re: No Diners here!

Still no takers!

But big ones have been having a look and/or a peck!

Even more than usual!

So far... nothing!

Do I have to advertise it to them somehow?
There are hundreds of birds around as there are many trees and 2 woods around the estate but no takers for nuts!!!
