Finch Bird Feeder

My yellowish male Amadina fasciata (Cut-throat finch) eating his seeds in front of the camera!

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

You’ll see a House Finch and a Black-Capped Chickadee fluttering around and clinging to a wire seed ball and enjoying the nutritious seeds, in the Pennsylvania Garden.

Gold Finches and Pine Siskins pack my feeder on Camano Island, WA. Here is a short video clip you will like. Click Like and Comment. Bird Watching with (HD) Thanks for Watching. Justin Donnelson Please Subscribe Find my other videos I posted at www.YouTube.com Rock on! Justin

Can you put black oil sunflower seeds into a thistle feeder?

© 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.

American Goldfinches visit my backyard every January and February. This is the 2nd year in a row. They really enjoy snacking on black oil sunflower seeds. They are gone by March. Music by Alabama – “If It Ain’t Dixie (It Won’t Do)

Find out what birds come to visit my bird feeder on a typical snowy day in central Ohio. Correction: I’ve been told that the first bird is actually an American Tree Sparrow and not a House Sparrow. Transcript: “It was a cold, overcast day in central Ohio. I set up a camera for a day to capture the typical birds that visit my feeder. The birds were ready for breakfast bright and early when the sun came up. On this particular day we captured Juncos, Starlings, House Sparrows, House Finches, Goldfinches & Mourning Doves. Activity in the afternoon slowed down a little bit. There aren’t many trees in the area so we don’t have any squirrels and we don’t get some of the more popular birds of the region that require more cover like chickadees & blue jays. Other birds that I’ve seen at this feeder include Northern Cardinals, grackles & red-winged blackbirds.”
