Ian,
      The half inch keeps out sparrows (just) they can squeeze through but
can't get out in a hurry and don't try again. This behavior seems to have
been passed on throughout the sparrow (House Sparrow) colony , which lives
in the horseyards next door, as a "cultural" habit, I havn't seen one even
try for yonks, but they feed around the edges of the cage.
                                                       Michael
