kathryn for the smaller song birds u need the small bird feeders s that the pidgeons cant get at the seed. if u are just spreading th seed on the ground thats an open invitation to the pidgeons. maybe as some of the neighbours and see what they are doing that is differen from what u are doing maybe this might help solve your problem. goo luck. cyaaa, sockiescat

Kathryn, that's like leaving bowls of M&Ms outside and then wondering why there are fat people visiting your yard all the time. Take away the bird seed for a while. Like, until late autumn.
LMAO!!

Droll Yankee has a wonderful bird feeder, that has a ring around the bottom. When any bird too big (or squirrel) tries to get on the bird feeder, it spins the ring and the squirrel or birds get flung into the shrubs. I got it for squirrels (which is very entertaining actually). But it also works for pidgeons and grackles (which we have an infestation of.
Also, putting out different kind of birdseed helps. If you put out corn, you'll get pidgeons, mice, squirrels, etc. If you put out a blend that doesn't have corn (but has sunflowers and thistles, you'll get cardinals, jays, swallows and the smaller birds). If the pidgeons go for the seed on the ground, I just open the door and let the dogs out.
