      That is interesting. We don’t have many rooks about her but do have starling and I don’t recall seeing them take the seeds. Other finches yes, especially the bull finches

        Sorry, I meant that the starlings and rooks are so noisy and bashing around the bird tables that the goldfinches keep away. They visit next door though!
