Archive for the 'Goldfinch Feeders' Category
When attempting to attract Goldfinches to your yard sometimes less is more. Just plant some of their favorites like Marigolds, Zinnias, Cosmos, or Cornflowers and don’t bother to cut off the tops, Goldfinches love them. You don’t even have to weed out the dandelions these also are favorites. What a great excuse to get out of weeding!
Of course you’re also going to want to put up some thistle tube feeders, since other than the plants you’ve planted for them they eat seed almost exclusively. Even to the point of bringing partially digested seed to feed their brood. And if you want to keep them around all year you’ll want to keep those feeders full. To keep them from competing too much over the feeder you can always put up some extra inexpensive thistle sacks. That way you’re sure to keep these golden beauties close to you with their delightful songs and charming flights.
