Open feeder

Look forward to seeing pic Tony. Is it Parakeet proof though? They are a nightmare in my garden and the little birds won't come to the feeders when they are there. I'd rather have Magpies any day.

Gosh, Ginellie, parakeets! They sound very exotic to me but they seem to be right wee pests!
Wasn't it nippy today, Tony! We had some snow here too, so it's very festive looking! Isn't it strange the birds aren't eating the fat balls, we can't keep our cage full at the moment. And the squirrel just hugs the feeder while it's eating, like it's a big teddy! Can't wait to see your new invention, Tony, is there no end to your genius! Oh, and your little round tummied birds sound soooo cute!x

hi Ginellie Blooming heck Parakeet proof , i stand agast and a little puzzled. I promise to put the feeder display on Goy as soon as pos. Are you sure about Parakeets Ginellie?. Take care Tony.

Hi Elizabeth We havent had snow yet but we are expecting some later in the week. The birds vanished for 30 minuets today then in great numbers came back. Its encouraging to see them on the tubby side. Afraid i may have given the wrong impression Elizabeth as the feeder was one we bought recentley but it is,nt my invention sorry. It will attach to any size bottle via the spout but the birds love it. Today both fat ball,s and feeder were being used very very much. I will if poss get a snap on Goy of the feeder tomorrow. Its quite practical really. Not reccomended for nuts though as the plastic bottles can be raided. Take care Tony

Parakeets are a real pest here Tony. There are hundreds of them in the nearby parks and although they seem to stay there in the summer, the winter is another matter. They arrive in my garden at around 8am and even though I make it as difficult as possible for them to access the feeders they still try. They are, of course, very beautiful but I don't want them in any part of my garden.

I am having trouble with starlings and magpies this year, not to mention the squirrels, so I also had to comeup with an idea so that all the little ones could feed.We bought the squirrel proof feeders and there is a large gap where the birds go inside it , so I put some pieces of fat balls and suet inside this and it seems to have worked up to now. The trouble is ,that now my poor blackies can't reach it.So I need your expert advice Tony.

Hi Rose It appears you have cured one problem and created another Rose. This has in turn created a prob for me also as i need clarification as to what is a blackie?. My head is spinning(LoL). Take care you have just introduced me to Paracetomol(LoL). Take care Tony

Hi Ginellie Would it be possible to put a print of the Parrakeets on Goya?. I havent heard Of Parrakeets in Surry before and i am very interested in the subject. Thankyou Ginellie, Take care Tony

Well last year they flew away when I tried to get near for a photograph, however this year they are very cheeky and wait until the last minute so I will have a go on Saturday. Off to Brighton tomorrow for a look at the sea. Tony I've just noticed that Bamboo has Parakeet pics and he/she is also in London.

Blackbirds Tony , of course, put them tablets away, you don't need them! I really thought you might have had another invention at the ready!

hi Ginellie Thankyou will go to Bamboo, it does sound interesting and i am so taken a back as Parakeets are foreighn bird as i was led to belive. Take care Tony

Hi Rose I apologise and have not been to the chemist. Yet another conundrum solved. All my inventions are on hold at present Rose . The weather has made me redundant . I have some good news though as i can go in the kitchen now(LoL). Wind howling as i type ,its a very bad evening outside. Hope all at your home is fine . Take care Tony

The weather must be bad if you are allowed back in Tony!lol

Hi Rose The plank is now awaiting its first customer(LoL). Take care Tony

Oh I'm so scared. I'm sure my friend Elizabeth will come to my recue!

Hi Rose Elizabeth cannot aid you Rose as she is at the bottom of a hole on my lawn. Very bad landing i am afraid. But the good news is i have my sock back and your rolling pin arrived for the mince pies(LOL). Take care enjoy Tony
