Finch Bird Feeders
Finches range in size from small to fairly large. Their beaks are strong, somewhat stubby. They have twelve tailfeathers and with nine primaries.
People enjoy having finches in the yard because they can be fairly active, with a bouncing flight, are fairly social so they will often have a large flock gather around a feeder. During the nesting season they may tend to be a little more aggressive, but that doesn't last long.
The America Goldfinch is often attracted to a nyjer feeder, which uses nyjer seed and requires a special feeder due to the small size of the seed. Other common types of finches include house finches, purple finches, and Cassin's Finch.
