Hi Wasaga Mouse,

A warm welcome to BirdForum from all the Admin and Moderators. I hope you enjoy your time with us. Everyone here is friendly and helpful - I am sure you will get some good advice on what to put in your birdfeeder. Here in the UK I put out sunflower seed and get finches on feeders.

Howdy. I'm a retired natural resources manager. I was involved in the birdstrike program for over 30 years. Now I travel and write poetry and travel articles.

Hello and welcome from a fellow Canadian up at the other end of the province!
I found the best way to attract finches to your feeders is to put out black oil sunflower seed. It's tiny for them as they have small beaks and cannot break open large seeds. I keep large seeds for the grosbeaks who live up to their names!
Finches also like small feeders, preferably tube style.
Hope this helps. Enjoy your time here!
