Make A Bird Feeder
Why is the Goldfinch the only finch that can eat upside down?
I live in So. Calif and have recently become interested in bird feeding. I have feeders for thistle that finches like and have heard that the Goldfinch (vs the common Housefinch) can eat upside down. There are feeders that accomodate this trait just for the Goldfinch without attracting the Housefinch. Does the Goldfinch range include So. Calif and will this special feeder induce them to feed? Finally, what is it about the Goldfinch that enables it to eat upside down while the other finches cannot?

Aloe vera…date palm…bird feeders…almond tree delivery To be continued… Next… planting trees Ne Plus Almonds are large, with a long and narrow shape, that is soft shelled with a sweet kernel. It normally blooms around mid-February, and requires a pollinizer, and the best pollinizer for the Ne Plus Almond is the Nonpareil almond. Ne Plus requires 250 chill hours, and will ripen in September The Nonpareil Almond Tree is a very popular almond tree, and with a large, thick shelled almond, this almond is the #1 commercial almond around, being adapted to most localities. It’s a heavy bearer that blooms in mid-season, and it needs a pollinizer as well. The best pollinizers for the Nonpareil Almond are the Ne Plus and the All-In-One almond trees. Nonpareil requires 400 chill hours, and ripens in September

Question on goldfinches?
I have some questions on goldfinches, I am not really a bird enthusiast, meaning that I don’t know a heck of a lot, but I do enjoy watching them at the feeders. About 10 months ago, I convinced my husband to buy one “finch feeder” and some “Super Finch Food” from Lowe’s as I was sure I’d seen goldfinches in our area……..(Hollister, CA)
The feeder stood untouched for a good 6 months, and then suddenly there were like 14 birds fighting over a space to sit and I had to fill it daily. I ended up getting a second feeder, and then suddenly, as soon as they appeared, the birds left for about 2 weeks (some say to feed on budding trees?)
At any rate, they are back now and I think I must be the ONLY person in this town with a finch feeder, I have to fill them both every other day. There are often several finches waiting in the tree for a space on one of the feeders.
My question is, what is the BEST thing to feed them? Straight thistle seed, or the “finch mix”? They seem to like the straight thistle better but I want to make sure this is healthy for them, and also…………are these birds “year round” in California (about 100 miles south of San Francisco), or how should I plan for them? Is there anything they like in addition to thistle/finch food?
Thanks for your input.

Bird feeder question about spilling and rat/mice??
I have lots of birds in the yard and want to feed them but when I put out a feeder, it spills and I get mice/rats that come around. (I live on a hill and so we have little field mice) but also sometimes a rat will come (gross). Does anyone know of a feeder that will not spill over? Something sturdy? Thanks!
