Black birds are eating our suet and so the woodpeckers are staying away. The blackbirds eat a cake of suet in a day! Is there anyway to discourage them, actually send them on their way? We have so many other birds we'd rather be feeding. Thanks.
Want to borrow my dog? My half Boxer catches and kills only black birds. Don't know why. I find dead birds in the yard. I see her stalking and actually catching them in mid air.

I stopped feeding in the summer. When the blackbirds leave for the winter (usually around Nov.) I start feeding again.

Gonna have to point a pellet gun in their direction. They are nasty.

Getting Rid of Blackbirds. I would like to know if any members know how I can get rid of Blackbirds. I have 2 feeders and they caused all my Pretty Songbirds to leave.
How do I get rid of blackbirds, without scaring other birds?
