Small songbirds such as American goldfinches, house finches, purple finches and pine siskins often frequent this feeder, drawing crowds of birds like redpolls and indigo buntings as well.
If you want to attract finches and other smaller birds to your bird feeder, try providing Nyjer seed. This popular black thistle seed variety has proved itself very appealing among backyard birders.
Finch food (ie: sunflower chips and small millet seeds) can be added as an individual seed in a hopper or tube feeder or blended together with sunflower chips and small millet seeds for finch mixes that attract birds such as finches, siskins, redpolls, juncos and crossbills. Some thistle and nyjer feeders feature special “upside down ports”, enabling finches to perch on them before flipping themselves upside down to access their hole below and devour their treats.
