How can I attract goldfinches into my garden, a neighbour gets at least half a dozen feeding regularly in her garden?
Goldfinches are becoming a more regular visitor to garden feeders. Their main diet is seed from thistleheads, and this can be bought in the form of nyjer seed. This seed will invariably attract goldfinches into your garden, especially if it is put into a dedicated nyjer seed feeder which has very small apertures. The seed is so fine it can blow away when placed on a bird table.
