http://www.rollerfeeder.com/feedingtips.htm Birds visiting squirrel proof RollerFeeder Januaury 14th at 10:am. Birdseed used is #2 Whole sunflower seed mix which is 80-90% whole sunflower kernels (shelled sunflower)mixed with 10-20% black oil sunflower in the shell. As shown birds really enjoy this seed on a cold Januaury morning.
Notice in the beginning of the video, how the MALE HOUSE SPARROW TO THE RIGHT stays away from the feeder because of the monofilamnet sparrow lines attached to the roof edges - yet OTHER SONGBIRDS have no problem with the lines. The monofilament SPARROW LINES cut down sparrow traffic as high as 95% and are very easy to attach. This technique will cut down invasive birds such as the house sparrow and leave the feeder more open to native songbirds. It is not 100% effective but very effective and will change your feeder activity greatly with more quality birds. See other videos with the line attached. http://youtu.be/VQ7nhN-Xe1c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSVOajB2OmM
