I have sevaral bird feeders and a bird bath that attract colorful birds. Cardinals, robins, blue jays, woodpeckers, doves, humingbirds, and many more beautiful birds. I feed them thru a small opening feeders, and use safflower seeds. It has kept the black birds away for 6 yrs. But all of a sudden, the black birds are now taking over and eating the safflower seeds ( of which I was told, they hate that kind of seed) off, from the ground, and it is now keeping the colorful ones away. What now?
