Message: <blockquote data-quote="Neil-T" data-source="post: 1326655" data-attributes="member: 68739">Goldfinches and Nijer seedTook them 4 weeks to find mine. I bought this feeder from my local pet store for £1.99p, any spillage goes into the tray where others pick it up. I have had up to 16 Goldfinches on the feeder and waiting in the trees, there is always a lot of sqabbling between them as the try to get the best position on the feeder. I will have to get a longer one.Judging by the posts in this thread, I would say that around 60% prefer Nijer and 40% Sunflower hearts or Kibbled Hearts.  I wonder if this is anything to do with the area, IE: Birds in the North prefer Hearts and birds in the South prefer Nijer, just a thought.</blockquote>
