RSPB Ultimate bird feeder guardian, small

This is on the whole a great addition to my feeder. Only issue is that magpies can still stick their head in and get at the food, so it maybe needs to be wider.

Only just received and fitted these guards today in an attempt to stop larger birds hoovering up the seed and gobbling up the fat balls in super quick time. This afternoon I have seen several pigeons, jackdaws and crows wandering about the grass looking a bit lost and dejected! Plus saw a pigeon sitting on top of the pole on which the feeders hang, looking confused. Oh, and another trying to get seed from a medium feeder (with tray at bottom) to which I have added a "Rainaway" just under the upper set of perches and gave up! Hooray! I know these birds have to eat too, but they take so much so quickly and I can't afford to support them. However, the tits, finches and sparrows seem to have no bother getting inside the cages (except when they land on the top and try to get through the narrower spaces at the top- they'll learn.) I even think that the smaller birds are feeding for longer at the protected feeders- wonder if they feel safer?

We have had two of these guardians for some time now. Both have successfully deterred the squirrels and magpies - we have watched them try every now and again and then give up. They're good quality and still look in good condition. We have had another one on order for some time now so do hope that you will still be able to continue to supply these because as far as we are concerned they are a success!
