    I have a question that I would appreciate any information on. I prefer mesh type feeders because they keep away aggressive junk birds like sparrows and starlings. I use safflower seed because the squirrels do not like it. But I have not been able to find a mesh type feeder that works. The seeds fall out through the larger sunflower seed size. Does anyone know of feeders specifically for the safflower seed? Any feeder that has a perch invites the sparrows and they are really aggressive about keeping other birds away, I have even seen them do this occasionally with my mesh feeders. Thank you for any help
