Drops of Gold! American Goldfinch



American Goldfinch are returning in great numbers now.(I had about 15 males and 5 females in my backyard in Parksville yesterday) They are like drops of gold at the feeder. Goldfinch like to eat Nyjer Seed as well as Hulled Sunflower Chip. With a nyjer feeder one is able to create a feeding station that is just for the finches.

Droll Yankees offer a variety of Nyjer (also spelled Niger) Feeders. Pictured here-TH series has 6 ports, is easy to clean, lifetime guaranteed and the goldfinch love it!!
