If you want to keep them off your little-bird feeder (of any size or type), simply surround that feeder with wire fencing of sufficient size to let the blue jays and smaller in. I did so on a platform feeder on a pole. But frankly I can't see why you'd want these interesting birds completely eliminated. It's been 150 years since they've been present in New England and I for one am glad to have them back. Yes, I feed them, but they also eat apples from the several trees in the yard and insects out of the garden.

Turkeys love sunflower seed. We've had as many as 60+ at a time around our feeders, but only when snow depths covered their mast. Most of the time they move from their night roosts in our woods through the orchard without any detours to the feeders.
