nanny -- you were asking about that feeder Watercan had shown and if
some of the larger birds could use it.
Here is a flicker on mine. Itwas given to me because the squirrels
figured out how to spill out the seeds and she was fustrated by them.
Rocky can't get to it on this thing-- I offered to build this feed stand for her
but its doesn't go with the outdoor setting she had in mind ( interpretation- its ugly)

I guess these flickers are spoiled, I use an old hand crank meat grinder to
grind up peanuts and sunflowers along with bird
feed, and when I don't these silly things pick out the sunflower seeds to get
to the finer stuff. I had it full of sunflower seeds waiting on the grosbeaks to show up and
these flickers emptied the seeds on the ground. (not all, but the squirrels were really happy)
