These birds will not use the fancy plastic type feeders in my yard. They love the sock niger seeds and my squirrel proof feeder providing oil sunflower seeds.

I’ve used the plastic feeder tubes for several years and have not had any problems attracting golden as well other types of finches native to our eastern Iowa area.
Also like the tubes to perserve the seed against weathering.

My finches won’t use the plastic feeders – only sock feeders. I’m from Oklahoma and live next to a pond.

I have to agree! I like tube feeders, i think they are more attractive. I enjoyed the article.

Thanks

Thanks, this was very helpful. I rather like the resourcefulness. I don’t know where Dave puts his socks, but clearly he made a connection between socks and jock straps that wasn’t in the article.

I disagree. The plastic contraptions, better known as tube feeders are more attractive in the yard than that jock strap hanging from the branch. That nut sack will attract goldfinches and West Hollywood Twinks to your yard!
