I have got to the point of only putting mealworms out in the dishes as I am sick and tired of the pigeons messing everywhere and eating everything else. I still have the hanging feeders which are virtually ignored as the sparrows etc have deserted me for a neighbour's garden, although a pied wagtail was pecking around the driveway the other day.
The squirrels and their feathered friends are still visiting the back garden.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
