Young emu feeder...dumb sparrows

[Guy4God]

Hello. I have 2 four month old emu that I feed from raised dog bowls. Is there something I can use so they can eat all day, but the sparrows can't? I'm mostly upset they poop in the feed.....thanks

Yes there is a solution. Not sure you want to take it.
I have numerous sparrows around my house. I do enjoy having them here. I have a bird feeder available year round.
Currently, (in my zone 5A) the newborn sparrows hatched in recent weeks. The parent sparrows need to feed their young. I just LUV, seeing the babies being fed.
So you must understand that sparrows are also Gods little creatures. They need to eat.
My sparrows don't raid the chicken feeders, since I provide them with wild bird seeds.
Think about the solution.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Sparrow cage traps work if you're fine seeing a drop in sparrow population

A feeder with a hood over it might help as well as a feeder with a cover and a pressure plate for the birds to step on can work but would need training
