Can not get Finches to feed on my feeder. Brought Thissel food. Hanging in front yard, very busy street.?

Finch Feeder has been hung out for over 6 months, first hung in front of kitchen window, then moved feeder to tree limb. Can see the Finches every day in tree, but they do not come to the feeder. Have placed special Finch Food in feeder and even on the ground to try and attact them to the area. Other birds do not eat the finch food. I live on a very busy street.

  1. I have finches, I feed them the black sunflower seeds, they did not seem to like the thistle I put out either.

    My Goldfinches love the thistle feeder, but I must keep it full so they don’t fight over the available perch space. The House Finches seem to prefer the Oil Sunflower seed, from the ground or a ground level feeder. They rarely feed at the big hanging feeder, where I put the mixed seed, and I have never seen them at the thistle feeder.

    Don’t give up hope.
    We moved into our house two years ago and hung feeders..
    No birds..no bird the second year..this year all kinds of birds
    and we live on a busy street.
    Put a bird bath near the feeders.
    If you provide they will come.
