Dear experts from all over the world who probably have more experience with wildlife than I do,

We feed the birds all winter, and normally it's a mix of everything you would like in your garden, with a few, infrequent, unwelcome visitors. But at the moment most of the birds are ring-collared doves, and they are dominating everything, and costing us a fortune in seed if the other birds are to get any.

Should I just suck it up? Or do you think ten plus pigeons is becoming a problem, and I am making a rod for my own back?

Wildlife, bird, farming experts - I would appreciate your advice. I don't dislike the birds. I think they are quite pretty. There's just so many.

Thanks.

Ali
