Day two of the Halo...and the House Sparrow HATE me! :-D  There were a
couple of people asking aout "the Halo" yesterday, and I thought that I
would pass along that link that Sean Williams sent me.  I thought that
most everyone knew what it was, so I didn't elaborate.  It's basically a
wire hoop with wires hanging down..HOSP don't like to eat under wires
apparently, so they stay away. Here is website that shows one and where
to buy, but I just used two metal coat hangers and some picture frame
wire and lead weights from my fishing gear. :

I have noticed that where I didn't put a wire, the HOSP will land and
eat there, but where I didn't they stay away like the plague.  I am not
usually around much of the day to monitor, but the feeder hasn't needed
filled in 24 hours now...nice! :-D

Have a great day!
