 If you hang it, they might come... |

I'm lucky enough to live in an area where plenty of beautiful Goldfinches flitter about and in an effort to encourage them into my garden, I bought this great little feeder and hung it up on a pole and now they're all over it. It took only 2 days for them to discover it, and now they're running through Niger seed like it's going out of fashion - they seem to be almost "hooked" on the stuff - but that's great, because they really are beautiful little birds and I could watch them for hours if I only had the free time.
This is a tidy stainless steel and clear plastic product with a flip top lid to pour the seed in, a metal loop to hang it with, and two perches. You will need a convenient hook or suitable pole to hang it from and access to somewhere that sells Niger and/or Thistle seed to fill it with and, of course, a suitable - cat free - safe spot to position it where you can observe the birds comings and goings if you wish to (you might, after all just want to feed the birds without watching them as an altruistic act, and if so, well done to you, but you'll be missing out on a real treat.)
The retailers warn that you should only buy this kind of feeder if you know that the appropriate species of birds are in your area so it's not necessarily magically going to make them appear, but if you have already seen them around - "If you hang it, they will come..." (probably). |

Goldfinches in your garden

We love watching garden birds, and have a small variety of feeders and a bird bath to attract them. I am amazed at how birds KNOW where the food is, especially in an enclosed feeder such as this one. Within a day of filling and hanging up the Niger Feeder, a pair of goldfinches were on it, pecking away. Now they return daily, and the level is gradually going down. The Feeder is a sturdy product, built to last. So far they are the only birds that use it, but what joy to see goldfinches in our garden!

| This is an excellent feeder. It is well built and designed so the niger seed stays dry and the birds can get at it easily. Our old niger feeder attracted goldfinches, but we wasted lots of seed through it getting wet, and it required adaptations to make it work at all. No problems with this one, and we've very quickly attracted far more birds, the garden is alive with them. I've ordered another for my mother. We have to buy a lot of seed now though! |
