How do you get rid of large numbers of nuisance starlings while still keeping song birds?
Solutions for getting rid of Starlings by providing a variety of feeders that they cannot feed from, but other birds can utilize: 1. Use a nyjer or thistle tube feeder, which is a specially designed feeder with tiny feeding ports for this very small seed. Starlings prefer other seed and find tube feeders difficult to manage easily. This type of feeder, depending on where you live, will attract small birds such as American Goldfinch, House Finch, and Chickadee. 2. Use tube feeders designed to hold mixed seed such as sunflower seed, shelled peanut or white millet etc. If you find the Starlings are still able to use the perches to access the seed, cut the perches a little shorter until they are unable to sit on them. This will not hinder the smaller birds. 3. Use peanut in the shell feeders which have bars or mesh with large holes to hold the food. Starlings find it very difficult to use this style. 4. Use an upside-down suet feeder that will attract clinging birds such as Woodpeckers, Nuthatches and Chickadees, but not Starlings who are unable to hold on. 5. Use safflower only in a hopper type bird feeder as Starlings are not usually attracted to this seed, but Cardinals are attracted by it. For more info visit the-scoop-on-wild-birds-and-feeders.com
Why is the Zebra Finch and Society finch grooming each other?
i know mine too strange
What other type of finches can zebra finches live with?
You can keep your zebra finch together with other birds as long as they aren't too much bigger than them. Anything far larger than them will bully them and attack them. They seem to be okay with other pet finch species and canaries. I wouldn't keep them with budgies though. They will get aggressive towards your finch.

It is up to you where you put bird feeders. To attract more birds you may have to put it near to their natural habitat and near to where they can find cover. On the other hand you may want to put them where you can see them easily.
How do you get rid of the cowbirds at a bird feeder that are keeping the other wild birds away?
Just scare it away OR you can build another bird feeder This is not an answer. We have several feeders and they fly to all of them and keep all the birds away. Obviously you're not an expert. According to the staff at WBU--stop using black oil sunflower seeds--in fact clean out the feeders to no smell or residue is left. I did this and almost all my cowbirds are gone. They are feeding on what they find that was left on the ground. I had dozens and now it is down to a couple every now and then
What do you do if your feeder fish has bumps on its scales?
If you are using the feeder fish to feed other fish with then I would toss them right away. If you plan on keeping them a while then I would treat your tank with fungus treatment or parasite treatment. More then likely they have one or the other. I would not let any of your more expensive fish eat them and take the risk of losing your bigger fish over a 10c fish. I got some feeders today and when I got home I noticed they all had bumps either on them or inside them and the feeders are for my big oscar and flowerhorn fish and i took the fish back because i wasn't about to risk losing my other fish. Good Luck
Can you put a betta and bottom feders in a tank together?
Yes you can put a Betta and bottom feeders together in the same tank. I have two Chinese algae eaters and one male Betta in a 5gl tank and no one bothers each other. The bottom feeders need plants (preferable LIVE) and rocks or something they can hide under and sleep in themselves. I also have a Betta hammock (fake leave with a suction cup to attache to the side of the tank) that you can get at any pet store. My male Betta loves the hammock! One bottom feeder lives in a live plant and the other bottom feeder lives under a rock.
