Birds are hard to attract though.

I'm currently getting through half a kilogram of bird food a day. Well, I'm not, but the birds are. Lots of pleasant bird song from the back garden, but if it carries on like this they're going to bankrupt me...

A flock of a dozen starlings will eat mealworms at about £5/hour if allowed. It's a shame because the other birds love them too and aren't quite so quick which means more watching time.

With mine it's mostly sparrows. The starlings try to feed from the hanging bird feeder but they're too big. Doesn't stop them from trying though.

I do need to an a cage to the top of the bird table to keep the wood pigeons off though. They can hoover up bird seed like there's no tomorrow.
