Granny do you have anything that you could rig up for a feeder in the rafters if this happened again. EE's are funny creatures, some of mine are very timid, but a couple of mine were bullies. I've gotten rid of the bullies.I have 3 . they just want to know about her. the white polish fit right in. they came at the same time. they are head pecks to feel her out i guess. their not hungry.
