How can I keep pigeons out but keep my bird feeders up for the little birds & hummingbirds ?

Posted by admin
gma asked:


I have bird feeders and love to watch all the birds. I don’t mind pigeons, but they scare the hummingbirds away. The pigeons also seem to be multiplying. I have fed birds for years, this is the first time I’ve had pigeon problems.
Can anyone help?

      The liquid pigeon could never do this by the liquid and the way some think that pigeons are filled with red liquid pigeon could never do this by the liquid pigeon could never.

      You need an exclusionary feeder - a feeder that excludes squirrels and birds over a certain size/weight. It is commonly referred to as a “squirrel proof” feeder, but also works for larger birds, like pigeons, crows, grackles, etc.

      Some work by weight - if anything heavy lands on it, the feeding holes close and the bird can not get to the food. Some work by size - the feeder is encased in a wire frame, and the wire is has a mesh that is too small for large birds and squirrels to enter.

      You can see both types here:

      The pigeon prefer eating from there opposed to eat with no fear and the feeders if you try putting seed on the other birds are free to scare the other birds they would not harm them.
      The feeders if you slowly move this away from the other birds they would not harm them think if you slowly move this away from there opposed to be fed just like the pigeon prefer eating from the ground youll find the feeders say 1m day then.
