Filling your tube feeder with mixed seed. - If you do this, all the seed will run out onto the ground, making the sparrows, pigeons, and blackbirds very happy. Solution: Use sunflower seed instead.

Believing that no thistle seed means no goldfinches - Sure, goldfinches, siskins, and other finches love thistle (or niger) seed. But it's an expensive seed to offer exclusively. Solution: All these species will come readily to feeders that stock only black-oil sunflower seed. Augment this with thistle if you wish.
I found this information on the Web. Is it true that I only need sunflower seed? I currently use "Pennington Wild Bird Feed" and "Golden Wing - Thistle Seed". |:||
