feeding Blackbirds and excluding Magpies (1 Viewer)

[davydavi]

I would like to build a ground feeder cage with a mesh size big enough to let Blackbirds and Thrushes feed safely on expensive food such as Mealy worms and Exclude the Magpies who currently dominate my garden. Has anyone a photograph of one they made?

Put apples out for the Blackbirds they love them and the Magpies will leave them to it.:t::t: http://rambleswithacamera.blogspot.com/

I do put apples out. They have to share these with a flock of Starlings. I want them to get the high fat content foods as well for this cold weather in particular.
