Experimental 'cone' feeder

[Snadger]

For anyone who can't get hold of a ready-made cone it might be feasible to make one out of the flexible glass-substitute sold in so many garden centres (I think it's called Multi-glass), not as the whole thing, but as a conical 'lining' for a normal barrel-shaped feeder. Cut a half-circle, curve it into a cone-shape, secure with strong sticky-tape, cut off the tip, hey-presto! The radius of your half-circle will need to be nearly as big as the internal diameter of the barrel you want to fit it into.

Good idea Hilary.

Some of my feeders are made from oblong plastic 5 gallon oil drums. These could even have an inverted rectangular pyramid fitted by a similar principal.
