Title: Sparrow inside feeder cage
Post by: JW Mills on June 20, 2010, 07:07:27 PM

I have a bell-shaped cage which holds a seed cake. Once the seed cake gets eaten down to a small size the sparrows have quite the battle to get the best feeding position. One sparrow figured out that the thing to do was to squeeze inside the cage. She now pecks away at leisure while the rest of them fight it out on the outside!

If she eats too much, she might have trouble getting out!  :D
