Lotsa Finches? Add a Few Thistle Bird Feeders!
Because of the Goldfinches’ sweet disposition, they will not compete for food. If feeders are crowded, they will seek food elsewhere. The most effective way to keep them around your yard, is to add a few inexpensive thistle bird feeders, like the thistle sacks, or stockings.
Extremely effective, Goldfinches and others will use thistle sacks all the time. The longer, or larger the sack, the more birds it will feed, as the whole feeder offers clinging space. Now available in black, they offer a striking contrast when birds feed from them.
To enjoy Goldfinches’ vibrant summer color, keep thistle bird feeders out year-round. Offering friendly habitat, via food, and shelter during frigid winter months truly helps them to thrive and flourish!
Create a habitat simply by way of birdhouses, roosting pockets, mature trees and thickets, and water when all sources have frozen, with a heated birdbath. The birds will grace your yard and give hours of entertainment!
