Never seen this before, so don't know if it's common or not, but this morning with snow everywhere the 5 or 6 blackbirds that visit every day are hanging on the fat ball feeder to feed, taking turns- I've never seen them on a feeder before - how about others?

Blackbirds - and thrushes - love currants at this time. Raisins or sultanas.. We buy the cheapest , clear the snow and leave a handful. Within minutes we have 3-4 - and a few fights!
