Thanks
Thanks for the information. I bought a bag of Brown's wild bird seed that appears to be a cheap mix of milo and other grains – and just some scant, small sunflower seeds, as you detailed. It works to deter those pesky mourning doves from my main feeder, but not before my cardinals pick out the seeds. Unfortunately, the doves do return for safflower from the main feeder, time and time again. I consider them the biggest backyard nuisance – worse than squirrels, starlings, and sparrows, combined.

This was very informative. Thank you for the sharing of knowledge and helpful problem solving ideas. ❤.
I'm visiting my mom during the holidays, and unable to check on my feeders. I have a metal mesh clinging feeders, a nyjer feeder under our deck roof, a safflower seed log, and a suet cage, each under a squirrel baffle that's been turned into a halo with the crafting wire and weights. It's torture to not be able to keep an eye on "my" birds and my feeders, but I hope they're surviving…
Another great presentation. Thanks for all the super information.
