Message: <blockquote data-quote="CMB" data-source="post: 1276181" data-attributes="member: 64853">The current crop of Goldfinches that visit us basically ignore nyjer, and they devour sunflower pieces.  There will be a tube feeder filled with fresh nyjer and the sunflower feeder will be empty, and the Goldfinches will continue to fly around and look for sunflower seed.In another place we lived the Goldfinches ignored the sunflower and devoured the nyjer.I recently gave about 30 lbs of nyjer to a friend who lives 20 minutes away.  He has Goldfinches that love it and he goes through it quickly.  I wasn't able to make a dent in the stuff after months.I am convinced that Goldfinches (while very colorful and nice to look at) aren't the most intelligent birds out there.</blockquote>
