What can I do to prevent undesirable birds from using my feeder?

To discourage House Finches, remove the perches from your feeders.
For Blue Jays and large aggressive birds, use bird feeders with a wire mesh surrounding the seed reservoir that prohibits larger birds from flying through the mesh openings and eating the seed.
Blackbirds and Sparrows love cracked corn, and refrain from offering the seed.
Do not put mixed seed in your feeder to prevent Doves and Sparrows from feeding.
