I just took a piece of screen and put it over the grate and secured it so it wouldn't flop off. The birds loved it. Cardinals like an open feeder. Not fancy RNBF but is works.

I need to get an open feeder going. I see Cardinals occasionally on the ground picking up after the messy feeders. I have a shallow pot bottom that has its own stand, that might do the trick.

Only the finches seem to like my hung feeder that moves when they land on it. Now i just need to figure out what to put the plate on so that the neighborhood cats cant get to the birds.

On and lets not forget the squirrels that love to eat my birdseed. Has to be on something they cant climb up on. Maybe a greased pole? Quote \| Reply \| Report
