This one is for Birdie. On my last post she commented that 'There is no way that feed dish could ever be big enough!'
As I told her, the galahs were on our smaller feeder, but similar scenes were being enacted only feet away.
However, it is pigeons which really, really crowd the feeder. They are close to bottom of the pecking order and the other birds relegate them to eating on the veranda or the ground. Consequently, if the feeders are not already occupied the pigeons cram themselves onto them. Which makes it quite a bit harder for them to get some seed to eat. Bird-brained?
Sorry, these photos are a little dark but I think you can see just how many pigeons have squeezed themselves aboard.
