Hi Seymourclearly
Hope your birds visit your new station soon and I am sure that they will.
Lots of tasty snacks will do the trick {thumbs up}

Thanks Blackbird and Sparrow .
Certainly hope they will.
Looking forward to seeing what we can expect here at the new house.
Quite exciting really when you are not sure what the "locals" are going to be.
I have a full size plastic bin which can hold 20 kg of seed, 20 kg of peanuts & 24 half kilo bags of sultanas, which is kept in the garage. Inside the back door, I have my aunt's old enamel breadbin which holds a week's supply of nuts and seed plus a couple of bags of sultanas ( a day's supply) and a tub of mealworms. I have two old coffe mugs which I use to scoop the food from the breadbin to transfer to the birdtable and feeders.
My blackbirds are so tame that they help themselves from the sultana bag if I am busy in the garden. Several of them will sit on the doorhandle and peck the glass for service, and if the backdoor is open, they fly or walk in.

Big plastic storages boxes that you buy in DIY stores and places like Wilkinsons, I also store the chicken food in these.

Hi Blackbird
In my understairs cupboard I have 2 old cat food container buckets with lids that I store peanuts and my special mix of sunflower haerts etc. I also keep the buckets that RSPB peck n' mix, coconuts, fat snax or mealworm containers come in and use those for various things like nyger seed, half coconuts, suet balls and peck n' mix that I now often mix myself (suet pellets, raisins and mealworms).
I still have half used bags of old stuff that maybe the birds don't currently like that needs to be stored elsewhere, so some is in the garage on an old carpet square, and some is in the utility room cupboard.

The blog is quite fascinating. Most blogs I come on these days don't offer anything I'm interested in, but this one has caught my attention. As of now, I am impressed with the chicken food from KFC south Africa restaurant. SAkfcsurvey.com helped us to participate in the online KFC survey to win KFC coupons.
