Drastic Measures
With the onslaught of massive crows gobbling up our seedlogs in the span of a day, drastic measures were needed - and taken!
I added a large red baffle directly over the logs so the Crows would no longer fit on the feeder. They were definitely baffled by this harsh tactic.
Also, other birds, like this Red Headed Woodpecker, had to adjust to this change, too, as they now have difficulty reaching the top of the log, where no doubt the tastiest morsels are hidden. But after a few days, they realized the logs are still mighty tasty and are getting over this baffling change.
On a side note, oddly enough, the squirrels are no longer raiding the seedlogs either! Can you say access denied? As a result, the logs are now lasting nearly 7-10 days!
