Out of desperation due to a magpie invasion on my conventional feeders I spent £60 on both the nut and also nut feeder.
Whilst they certainly keep the magpies away, over the past 10 days I have not had a single bird on either feeder.
I appreciate that in late June song birds have plenty of other natural food sources but this is very frustrating as well as costly.
I wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem with these particular feeders ? Are there any alternative solutions ie adapting these feeders or any others on the market ?

It always takes birds a while to become brave enough to tackle new feeders I find!

I haven't come across these feeders so can't make useful comments. Have you tried putting sunflower hearts in them as this is the preferred food for finches, tits and sparrows in my Droll Yankee feeders. Magpies only go for fat based products in my garden.
