Well, as far as keeping the white-wings off it, I really don't try. They used to clean it out regularly but they have slacked off thanks to a Coopers hawk that hunts my neighborhood. Now the dove may come in once a day, usually early. Then a few at a time after that. The Nutmegs do not seem to be intimidated by them even though they are a fraction of the dove's size. The photo is of the Cooper's hawk that hunts my area. It is having lunch....a White-wing. It's nature's way.
