Well the weavers and mossies (Cape Sparrows) spend all day fighting over the food. The doves are around but they're too big so spend most of their time on the ground eating left-overs, plus they're not vicious like the others so get bullied; we get African Mourning Dove, Cape Turtle Dove and some Rock Doves (pigeons).
We have plenty African Red-eyed Bulbuls eating the fruit. Robins come in and eat the spring tails and worms and stuff. We get flocks of Traansvaal White-eyes eating the berries in our viburnum but not on the feeders. We also have plenty Grey Louries and I think they eat the fruit but they prefer high places so I don't see them much.
We used to get red bishops but the reeds in the vlei (marsh) were burned down 2 years in a row so I haven't seen any this year. For some reason I haven't seen mynahs who normally bully other birds. I'm not sure why there are less of them.
Special birds are Olive Thrush and Cape Canary (I think).
I would like some whydahs, mousebirds (I probably have but they don't have long tails now so I missed that they were there!), Bushshrikes, wagtails, barbets, hoopoes and of course red bishops.
It takes a while for them to get into a new food. They broke their millet feeder but now have gone bananas over oats and sunflowers. The suet is going slowly today but I guess they will get into it
