Sons of bitches eat all my damn finch bird seed in half a day, lazy arse dog won’t chase them away.
I buy a tiny feeder, I buy seed marketed for finches, but the bastards still bout tip the feeder over and gorge themselves on it. I’ve had enough!
What’s the trick?

When you find out, let me know I came home to 30 pigeons, black birds and crows. Looked like a bad omen lol!

Probably grackles. I hate those birds. They come in flocks and ruin the party.

See if you can get some squirrels to locate the feeder. ! Pick your poison. Put a camera under feeder and see what comes in at night. You will be surprised. Much more than blackbirds!

Safflower seed. They typically do not care about eating safflower seeds. Once I changed to safflower I stopped having issues with grackles or blackbirds.

Cheap dog food or bread tossed out in another area of the yard. The less desirables will congregate to it.

My grandpa was a redass.
We used to make traps with lard from butchering. Trip the trap when it was full of blackbirds. We'd kill so many we'd turn the snow red.
No more blackbirds issues.

I have the same problem! One gets up on the feeder and rakes feed out to the rest of the flock. Fill it in the morning and they empty it by noon.

Finch feeder? We had those things build nests in all of our ferns this year. They’re nice birds but it’s a pain to water the plants gracefully instead of hosing them down.

Put a "Help Wanted" sign on the feeder.
