What feeders to use that block starlings?
I hate starlings eating all of the food in my birdfeeders, and I just want the pretty colored ones. What type of feeders work best for discouraging starlings from eating my food?

I would suggest using tube feeders to help discourage starlings from eating from them, since thy seem to be the ones that give them the most trouble. Keep in mind that its not foolproof since starlings are very tricky birds and can figure out almost anything.

Happy feeding!~

Tube feeders work pretty well, but of course nothing is going to stop such a particular bird entirely.

I didn't know that starlings dont like these feeders, does anyone have proof they work?

Starlings are very persistant birds, so finding an absolute way to get rid of them is pretty close to impossible. Find what types of seed they don't enjoy eating and go from there.

I've never thought that a specific bird feeder would be capable of blocking individual birds. That's quite interesting.
