Question How Do I...
Detract Brown Headed Cowbirds and Grackles from my bird feeders? The Grackles have been taking over for about a month now, but the other bird species tolerated them. Now the Cowbirds have taken over and I'm not seeing any of the other species... I want my finches, sparrows, and dark eyed juncos back!!!

Had a engineer at work that designed some equipment covers out of lexan so he could make bullet proof bird feeders out of the left overs.

We are using a Wild Bird Seed Mix. I was researching this a bit online after I started the thread and I found a few sites that recommended safflower as well as black oil sunflower seed. I'll give them both a try. Thanks!
