Get a few pigeons here but starting to have trouble with crows as well as the magpies. Old boy next door puts scraps out that attract everything with wings and they appear at the feeders here as well. The magpies deliberately collide with the feeders then go for the seeds that fall out, watched a crow lift one of the feeders off the hook and drop it on the ground I've had to cable tie the two lighter feeders to the hooks, makes them a pain to refill, the other feeders are heavy enough that the crow can't lift them.

Getting parent and junior woodpecker here frequently, several times a day. Quite comical, Junior is the same size as the parent, stands at the top of the feeder pole screeching while the parent is up and down to the feeders like a yoyo stuffing sunflower seeds in its gob
