Goldfinches

We have three Goldfinch feeders just outside out kitchen window. We hung them on shepard's hooks and you just ought to see the beautiful birds. The males are such a golden bright yellow and the females are more plain but it is so neat to see as many as a dozen of them on all three feeders put together. We went to a bird store and the lady told us about this bag you fill with finch seed and hang it from a hook. It doesn't look like much but the birds can catch their talons on it and eat upside down or any which way. We have counted up to 9 or more at a time on this one little bag. They just love it. There are usually 2 to 3 more birds on the other two regular finch feeders. We used to have some red finch but the Goldfinch seem to have run them off and we are glad actually, because the yellow ones are so beautiful and they aren't as afraid of us if we walk by the window. They just look at us. It is so cool.
