My Niger seed feeder is a tube with 4 perches and feeding slots which =
are exactly  1/8=E2=80=9D wide and 1/2=E2=80=9D long.
The starlings have a feast with them by one starling knocking the seed =
out onto the ground while the others, on the ground, feed.
Can I get away with a more narrow slot which will stop the starlings but =
not the small finches?

Yours...Dave S....
