Thistle Bird Feeder

First video attempted when parents are feeding their offspring. Any movement and they immediately start begging for tasty food. Mom Finch feeding new babies mostly soft food or protein rich food. Please rate and comment.

Heres another clip of a family of Goldfinches feeding in my garden – only 6ft from my lounge window. I have added a perch to my feeding station so that they can wait in turn to get onto the feeders. Im hoping that this family will stay with us through the the autumn and winter months!!!

Its spring again in southern California. A happy time in our backyard. The gold finches flock to the nyjer seed. Gold finches are so small and timid that I was unaware of them until we put out the feeder. Now, its common to see 10 to 12 birds at a time–swinging in the breeze. The gold finch is one of the latest nesting birds–not starting until late June or early July–after most other songbirds are finishing breeding. The bright yellow ones with the black cap and wings are the breeding males. We also get lots of mourning doves on our other feeder. With its mournful call, its one of the most common birds in North America. This male has an iridescent area on the side of its neck and a single red spot on its wing tip. The bees are busy. But they seem impatient at the passed-over lavender flowers. Honey bees are native to Asia and the Middle East. They were introduced to North America by early European colonists. Bees communicate new nectar discoveries to each other by way of an elaborate dance. I wonder what the dance looked like for the fading lavender. I imagine it was not very enthusiastic. But, the bees worry the flowers the best they can in our happy, springtime yard.

Hummer makes an appearance at 2:02 and again latter In this video I show how to fill and hang humming bird feeders.

Backyard bird watching is my new hobby which I started only about a month ago. I am learning how to attract birds to my backyard and trying different feeders and different foods for birds. My effort is paying off. This video shows how I am getting new visitors in my garden, like goldfinches and hairy woodpecker. I hope you will enjoy the video.
