Spinning feeder, do the birds care? (1 Viewer)

[tealboy1]

After fighting squirrels, I decided to hang my feeder from a limb using a very thin rope. The birds have begun to use it after many weeks but I'm wondering if I am getting far less useable bc it commonly spins around in circles, especially when the birds land on it.

I haven't figured out a good way to secure it based on where it is located but wondering if u think it matters

We have two feeders with sunflower hearts that spin nearly all the time when a bird lands, goldfinches, Greenfinches, blue tits, great tits, coal tits, sparrows, starlings and greater spotted woodpeckers. In short they do not seem bothered at all.

The birds here don't seem bothered by spinning as they eat.

Ok, thanks. It is now being visited regularly, mostly by red birds but a few other species but just wondered if I was scaring birds off w the spinning. I have a mix of black sunflower, the primary food but I blended in a moderate amt of the inexpensive mixed bird seed which has a variety of seeds
