I live in NYC and I'm in a conundrum. I need your help. This last January I hung up a nyjer feeder on my fire escape. Throughout the long Winter I had goldfinches feeding from my feeder all day long. I loved watching them. I always keep my feeder clean and I make sure that my nyjer seed is fresh and not dried out. Now it is spring and the goldfinches are nowhere to be seen. Just as their color turned into the most incredible yellow, they disappeared. Again, my feeder is clean and my seed is fresh. I do live directly across the street from a large forested park. Could it be that come Spring and Summer that goldfinches no longer want to eat nyjer seed? Maybe I need to offer another kind of seed in the Spring besides nyjer? Are they getting another food source that is better than what I'm offering? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
