The rate of consumption is much quicker than I have seen before.


Has anyone else noticed a similar high rate, or able to explain why this
is happening?


I've noticed the same from one of those squirrel-proof feeders that look
like a cage around the feeder itself. Then noticed that a rather fat
pigeon has found out how to fly onto the nearby fence, fly up to and
hang on to the feeder causing to to wobble all over the place and spill
seed on the ground. Fly back down to the ground to feast on the seed.
Rinse and repeat.

Does it have a relation in Kent or is there some sort of Pigeon Internet
for the dissemination of useful pigeon information.?

Yes, there's even an RFC for data packets by pigeon.
