I appreciate your ingenuity of segregating your feeders for different species. I just hung up three feeders with a different assortment in each feeder and let the birds peck it out: the chickadees were fearless, no matter how many cardinals or bluejays were at the feeder they would dart in and grab their dinner. The chickadees even fed while the hawks were lurking nearby.
