NONE Overview | sparrows | chickadees | finches | jays

The feeders for your finches can be placed anywhere in your yard, but to maximize viewing opportunities, you will likely want to place them fairly close to your viewing windows. There are several finch species that are dependable feeder visitors across most of their range: American Goldfinch, Pine Siskin, Purple Finch, House Finch, Common and Hoary Redpoll.
Finch feeder Mother Nature's Wild Finch Mix is the popular choice of serious birders. A finch silo style feeder with small seed holes and short perches is your assurance that the seed will be available to finches alone. Mother Nature's Nyjer Seed, fed from a second Wild Finch Feeder is an added bonus for this group of select seed eaters.
