Bought the clear ball feeder for sunflower hearts for the Goldfinches but when I put it up, the little uns were struggling to get in to the holes to feed as there was no platform for them!
So, we bought a clear plant-pot tray and I glued it to the bottom of the ball in order that the birds can now sit on/in the actual dish and feed to their 'sunflower' hearts, content......seems to have worked!

its nice to spoil them Dan, with more and more low maintenance gardens that means less natural foods for birds, they depend on us more and more.
