It’s like finches tell their friends where to get food. I must warn you that even if you only have a few finches at the beginning, they will quickly increase. However, as with the Droll Yankees 021964410735 which is also a tube plastic with perches, this feeder can accommodate up to six finches at a time. Plus the bright yellow color that doesn’t fade and really attracts finches. It is made of polycarbonate, so it is durable and rust-proof. You can see that the perches are well designed. It has a capacity of 1.6 pounds of bird food.Īlthough I usually favor mesh feeders, I really like this tube feeder as well. You can fill this feeder with finch mix or nyjer. The holes are small enough to prevent seeds from falling out, but are also comfortably large enough for the finches to get their fill. This versatile feeder attracts more than goldfinches it also appeals to chickadees and nuthatches.Įach yellow perch is faced with three port holes for the birds to eat from. Aside from having yellow top and bottom covers, this finch feeder also has yellow perches and feeding ports. If one of your issues with your feeder is that the finches couldn’t figure out how to eat from them, then I have a solution for you: get the Stokes Select Thistle Tube Bird Feeder. You can see the center tube hole which allows this seed distribution, which I think is pretty nifty. So the idea is that the seeds from the top will fill the bottom levels up but still maintain some seeds on their level up to a certain point, so more birds can eat at once. And it’s great to look at! You can easily use up a lot of seeds though as the birds really take to it.Īnother thing I like is the baffle inside. You can have a dozen goldfinches in your feeder but they can still eat comfortably. It can handle a great number of finches that flock in my yard. ![]() It is just the right size for my needs, too. I love the sexy design of its mesh tube, which allows finches to cling on the side or upside-down and eat comfortably. This feeder is made fully of metal, from top cover, to mesh tube body, to bottom tray. ![]() If you’re the type who doesn’t like plastic fittings in your feeder, then the No/No Green and Black finch feeder is a great choice for you. No/No Green and Black GB5F00340 Finch Feeder Two of these could make your finches really happy.Ĭheck Price 2. But what’s good about it being small is that not many finches flock to it, getting rid of the possibility of the feeder falling off the branch. The only drawback is that this feeder is a bit small. Some finches even eat from the bottom tray so there’s not much waste. Good thing the feeder has a bottom tray that catches the falling seeds. Although when finches come over and start taking their fill, some seeds do fall off. The seeds fit perfectly as the holes are not too small for the seeds to get stuck, but not too big for them to just fall off. To attract finches, I place niger seeds (sometimes called thistle) in this feeder. It was not created for specific birds, but it’s perfect for finches. The folks at Stokes seem to really know what they’re doing, and you can easily see that a lot of thought about birds have been put on the products.
