Hi there, I have been feeding our garden birds for the last year. It has been fascinating to watch the change in the types of birds that visit. Thankfully we still have our robins, blue tits, great tits...

House sparrows eating nyger seeds

Recently, I have noticed house sparrows eating nyger seeds quite regularly (from a cylinder with small circular ports). They are consuming other foodstuffs too (fat balls, sunflower hearts, peanuts, etc) but I am surprised they bother with these tiny things. Has anyone noticed house sparrows on their nyger feeders?

Robbo,
Were the seeds in a hanging container or on the ground?

Mine are in a hanging container but so many sparrows are eating them now, the goldfinches can't get a look in. This is the first year I've noticed sparrows eating the nyger seeds.
