A Finch Bird Feeder Will Attract Others Too!

Indigo Buntings at a Finch Bird Feeder

Thistle seed, also called nyjer, is a versatile and clean seed.

Versatile – as it will attract lovely songbirds like Goldfinches, House and Purple Finches, Pine Siskins, Buntings, and others.  Squirrels do not care for thistle seed and for the most part will leave a finch bird feeder alone.

Clean –  as thistle seed does not germinate and cause weeds to sprout below feeders. Thistle feeders are available mostly in tube styles, single, double, or even a 3-tube finch bird feeder.  Keeping these feeders out year-round will keep Goldfinches around your yard in warmer months, when their vibrant yellow plumage is displayed!
