Want To Attract More Goldfinches

Want To Attract More Goldfinches Featured Image
Goldfinches are known for their vibrant yellow color and their playful personalities. The
male goldfinch is quite noticeable with his bright yellow feathers and black accents.
Perhaps that’s the reason so many of us enjoy seeing them in the back yard. The
easiest way to attract them is to feed them what they love. Goldfinches have a little
different appetite from most birds. Instead of eating worms and insects, they eat seeds
almost exclusively. Goldfinches love niger seed. Niger is imported and closely
resembles the seed of American thistle plants which goldfinches eat and use in their
nests.
 
Did you know goldfinches can literally eat upside down if they need to? A tube feeder
for niger seed or a nylon seed sock makes it easy for goldfinches to eat upright or
upside down. Goldfinches also love to eat sunflower seeds or sunflower meats.
 
Here are some products to keep in mind when you really want to attract goldfinches.
 
Cole’s Niger Seed is a favorite for attracting goldfinches. Niger should be dispensed in
a special feeder designed specifically for this tiny seed. Find out more at:
