Thistle Bird Feeder

The American Goldfinch feeding at my seed ball that is filled with black oil sunflower seeds. The Bright colors and the song or these Wild Canaries Are Like no other bird that comes to my feeders they add color and music to the yard. They are probably one of the easiest bird to attract to the yard just make sure that you offer plenty of clean fresh seed and a water source and you will have no problem keeping them around.

I live in the Midwest and enjoy feeding the birds. I feed sunflower seeds, suet cakes, thistle, and sugar water. I also have a bird bath. I get a nice variety of cardinals, sparrows, chickadees, finches, hummingbirds, woodpeckers, and even an occasional duck — but is there something could offer to bring in rarer birds? Like Orioles? Bluebirds? Doves? More? I live near a creek, greenway and several large, heavily wooded parks.
Thanks — all your answers are great; I’ll give them a try. Unfortunately, I can’t leave a thumbs up — "Pollice verso" — for all of you as a "Level 1," but if I could, I would.

Ok. So i want a finch feeder to feed finches or a hummingbird feeder to feed hummingbirds. I can only choose one because my mom only want 2 bird feeders in our yard. We already have a bird feeder that mostly feeds sparrows and we cannot get rid of that! Feeding the finches are more cooler but feeding the hummingbirds are much more cheaper. I really do not car about the price. I can only get it if I pay with my own money ( which i don’t care). please help me!!so what should i feed?? Also if i get it i will have to buy thistle food for the finches and make my own or buy hummingbird nectar. So witch one should i feed. Also the finches will NOT eat the bird feed we already have. Which should i feed? Should i feed the finches or feed the hummingbirds??? HELP PLEASE!!

I’ve had no luck with drawing hummingbirds. I have feeders both in the front yard and back yard. I get plenty of birds to my regular feeder and to my finch feeder, but no luck with the hummingbirds. Any advice out there?

Great close up of a gold finch on the bird feeder my first thought was Elvis Presley look at the black cap this bird has it reminded me of Elvis. The video was taken with my Iview-100cm mini sports cam.

I have a few questions about bird feeders that I would like to get answers to. I have read that the bird feeders should not be placed near windows for the birds’ safety. What other places should and/or shouldn’t a bird feeder be placed (bushes, trees, fences, etc)? I’ve heard hummingbird feeders are normally colored red to attract hummingbirds. Second question: are there specific colors a bird feeder should be painted to attract birds?? Any other info I may need to questions I did not think of to ask would be greatly appreciated. The bird supply aisle had a lot of this one particular "wild bird food" had on the packaging "colorful bird blend." So, that’s what I bought.
Currently, it’s on a shepherd’s hook that sways a little bit which makes me think birds will not be inclined to use it. Should I abandon the hook and go for a more solid pole mount.
