Re: Goldfinch food preference

[LisaBirder@aol.com]

Hi there,

Not having had great success with attracting Goldfinches, I developed my own 
theory as to which kind of seed they will prefer. It's based on the 
fluctuating price of thistle seed.

As the price of thistle goes up, the Goldfinches' tendency to eat it goes 
down. In other words, the more I shell out to provide thistle for the little 
yellow buggers, the fonder they become of the black oil sunflower seed in the 
non-finch feeder.
