Hi butterfly, I had three starlings use it a couple of days ago, but none since. They are using the covered feeders but not in great numbers. Will be turning colder mid week, so perhaps they will be a bit more hungry.

Thank you Jack :D , it sure does :wife:
By the way, I posted the second and third video more to show how many of them are huddled up together on the ground to roost, than for murmutation. That what looks like a black/dark soil on the other side of the water is not soil actually, its all starlings next to each other chattering :D

I just saw, for the first time this year, quite a few of my starlings taking food away from the feeder :D . That can only mean one thing, they are feeding their babies :D . I better get ready for the great noise that will happen soon :D
