An AMAZING video of the American Goldfinch. Absolutely beautiful video. They love my finch sock. I see at least 10 American goldfinches on it each day. If you want to know if this finch sock works, IT DOES. I recommend buying it. A chipmunk came one day and its teeth ripped the sock and some of the seeds fell to the ground. I gave that chipmunk the scare its life when I trapped him in the gutter where he hides. He started croaking like a frog and barfed out all the seeds in his mouth. he had a handful of seeds. He keeps coming ever single day. I GIVE UP.

A lone goldfinch feeds on black oil sunflower seeds one fine spring morning full of birdsong to the sound of windchimes.

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.
