I used not to get sparrows on bird feeders Patsy ... but here the housesparrows from next door's roof tuck into the Robin Seed Mix all the time, queuing up on the trellis fence by our sitting room window to take their turn ... watching the newly fledged ones learn how to do it from copying the adults is great fun

Yes, I think it may be down to the quality/type of food that is available. I bought what I thought was a good value sack of seed mix from my local garden centre last week, but it turns out to be almost entirely of wheat grains; very little else and as my BiL pointed out, only pigeons would really eat that. The 2 feeders that were filled last Saturday have hardly been touched, so you obviously get what you pay for. I am now blitzing it down and mixing with the fat/dripping that I have accumulated from all the bone stock I have been making lately and making fat cakes. I usually place a large order with the RSPB as the quality from them is good ... unless anyone else knows better

I use the large bags from Costco but they last forever and I sometimes find squirrels in the bin I keep it in.
