Finch Bird Feeder

Finches have a veracious appetite for Niger Seeds. I have three feeders and they eat about one kilo of seed a week.

Family of Finches captured with my Iphone eating 100% sunflower chips. Tried thistle seed and the others birds simply toss them all to the ground. If you want Gold Finches or Bluebirds, Sunflower chips are the way to go, and no waste! Watch it in HD! Iphone was held by our mini-blinds…shot through a window.

© DeadlyTeaParty Property You’ll never guess what I came across today?? I CAME ACROSS A GOLDFINCH’S NEST; EVEN BETTER THE ACTUAL PAIR WERE MAKING IT!! I love these little birds; they are so bright and colourful; to be truthful I find it real had to get great videos of them!! Latin name Carduelis carduelis Family Finches (Fringillidae) Overview A highly coloured finch with a bright red face and yellow wing patch. Sociable, often breeding in loose colonies, they have a delightful liquid twittering song and call. Their long fine beaks allow them to extract otherwise inaccessible seeds from thistles and teasels. Increasingly they are visiting birdtables and feeders. In winter many UK goldfinches migrate as far south as Spain. Where to see them Anywhere there are scattered bushes and trees, rough ground with thistles and other seeding plants. Likes orchards, parks, gardens, heathland and commons. Less common in upland areas and most numerous in southern England. When to see them All year round. What they eat Seeds and insects in summer.

There must have been 35 goldfinches out there.. The birds blend in to the pile of seed because it is still winter and they are very brown looking in the winter, even the males which are sometimes very brightly colored.

Transcript: “The American Goldfinch is found in southern Canada, the United States and parts of Mexico. It is the state bird for Iowa, New Jersey and Washington. These finches prefer to live in fields, meadows and flood plains and have adapted well to human development. They are frequent visitors to bird feeders — especially those with Nyjer or sunflowers seeds. There agile feet are great at allowing them to hang on to weeds while their cone-like beaks are designed to eat the seeds of plants like thistle, dandelion, ragweed and alder. This small bird has a wingspan of 7-9 inches. This is a social bird that gathers in flocks. Males and females have different looks. These birds molt twice a year. In the spring, breeding males turn bright yellow to attract females. They molt again in the winter where the plumage of both the males and females becomes a dull, yellow brown.”
