    Any new suggestions on keeping starlings from devouring feral kitty food?

    I put an wildlife camera in one of our feeders to see just what happens with the new feeder.  Of the probably twenty or thirty cats that use that feeder, I actually saw five of them use the new one!  The birds didn't even try, just ate the food out of the bowls.  However, after about 8 in the...
