I can't believe how great this thistle feeder is! We always had problems with the house finches "taking over" our thistle feeder from the goldfinches as soon as the regular seed feeder went empty each day. Today we had 10 goldfinches at once (one was a fledgling), when the most we'd ever seen prior was 2 at a time due to their having "no rights" for the nyjer seed with the pushy house finches there. We have had a few house finches get inside the "haven", but it's still fabulous for the little yellow guys who breeze in and out at will. It's also terrific in that I'm going through MUCH less nyjer seed now, and the tiny guys are also getting a chance to eat well now.
I LOVE this feeder!!!!!"..." Read more
