I need to make or buy a feeder for small birds - finches - that won't
allow the bigger birds to feed from it. Any suggestions, please?
TIA

My Mum used to put feed out inside a large cocky's cage. Only the little
sparrows and finches were able to get inside and the #$*%^% Indian Mynas
and Spotted Turtledoves were stuck outside. (Yeah, I told her about the
sparrows, but hey! There's hardly any of them left these days!)

Plant a thicket or hedge of native plants wherever one will fit....

Depends on the type of plants you put in -- some native flowers (like
Grevillea 'Robyn Gordon') attract larger birds. I have a plant called Finch
Grass -- Eragrostis something. They should work!
