Bird Watching: Gonna try something to discourage all my House Finches., 1 by TheHackster

I have an over abundance to house finches draining my feeders.

So, I made modifications to three of my tube feeders. I read that if you shorten the perches, then the House Finches can't alight, but titmice, chicadees and goldfinches can. So, I snipped off enough of the perch so that only 3/4 of a inch is left. I may end it shortening it so that 5/8 is left.

The pic is of one BEFORE I shortened the pegs. Now, they're a good bit shorter.

Has anyone else tried this.
