Has anyone come across or made a hopper that the birds can't flick the corn out of even if the corn is a mixture? Any information would be appreciated.

Dovescot put a pic of one he made from laminate floor boards that would make it difficult to flick corn out off!

But you know by far the best way is Hand feed on cleaned floors. They peck as quick as it is laid down. As soon as on flies up to the perch, no more down.
This also keeps loft maintaince down to a regular minium, get a good bonding with the birds. One on one great managerment.
Trouble is for most, TIME.
