American Goldfinch - California / Gordon & Goldie
irenekl:
The Finch Mix is nyjer mixed with ground up seed which is put in the finch feeder. The other two I simply have in the tube feeders. At the tube feeders I have chicadees, gold, purple & house finches, sparrows, etc. Always some action.
Kinderchick:
Never heard of Medium Chips, irenekl. I live close to Wild Birds Unlimited and that's where we get our Nyger seed. Will have to check out that seed too. Do you require a specialzed feeder for that seed, like one does for the Nyger seed? Thanks for your 2 cents! :-*
irenekl:
Just my two cents: I have approximately 6 -12 goldfinches in my yard every single day. I feed them Medium Chips, No Mess Blend and Nyjer Finch Mix (all bought at Wild Birds Unlimited). They seem to love all three of these seeds equally.
My family only wishes I would feed them as well as the birds ;)

Or maybe they have found better "pickins" somewhere else, cadria? ;)

Ha ha! Back in the day when I used to live at home, I fed the birds. Mom lost her clothes line to a bird feeder! ;) Anyways, the ground around the bird feeder was really spongy. :D Loads of interesting things growing in the yard! We had an oriole feeder too and were fortunate to have these shy birds visit our yard.
