Feeders

Does anyone have suggestions on feeders that the house sparrows can't get to?

Maybe a treadle feeder?

Thank you I'll look into it. I have pheasants so don't know if they'd figure that out.

Are they in a covered/enclosed run? If they are just making sure all holes are covered so the sparrows cant get in would work too.

My run is completely covered. They hop around looking for breaks, or they find breaks in the net. I hate sparrows

Try putting your feeder in the coop. If all vents and windows have dense hardware cloth on them that the sparrows can't fit through, and the pop door is the only entrance point into the coop, that might be enough. I keep my feeder in the coop and have never seen sparrows, or any other wild birds, in there (though they are everywhere in general and can get into the run as well). I think an enclosed space with only one entrance/exit like that doesn't feel safe to them, so they wouldn't risk getting trapped in there.
