Guest guest Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Last week I found a sock-like finch feeder at the hardware store. Finches had never come to my regular bird feeder, but it seemed worth taking a shot. Within two days of hanging it up in a dogwood tree just off the kitchen, there were as many as six finches around. What I have found interesting about this feeder is the behavior of the various bird species. So far, the finches have been the only birds to actually use the feeder. Often times only one or maybe two will be on it because they don't like sharing it. I do, however, have a picture of four of them on there at one time. Other birds, like dark-eyed juncos and house sparrows, will be on the ground under the feeder picking up cast off seeds but have shown no interesting in trying to use the feeder itself. Other birds, like the tufted titmouse and chickadees, will land in the branches and look at the feeder, but haven't tried to land on it. Bigger birds like cardinals and blue jays, etc. have no interest in it at all. I'll post a couple of pictures later on. Get a jump start on your taxes.
