Is it mean to try to stop the Magpies?
My feeders would last several days if not for Magpies.
The Magpies can empty a feeder in a few hours.
Hi Daveion and welcome to the community forum; you could try using a ground guardian and put good inside that on a tray; I have used this method and only the smaller birds can gain access, just ensure there is no food too near the edge of the mesh as the magpie will reach through and take it ! This Guardian cage does work extremely well and there is a flat roof narrow mesh size a little bit cheaper. HERE .

4cm square is the size; I would try get mesh that is plastic coated so it doesn't rust or have any sharp edges. Your engineering skills will come in handy so good luck.
