Feeding Yellow Finches

I have been feeding the yellow finches Nyger seed for years. But this year they are not coming to feed. Why? I have seen them flying in my yard and drinking from the bird bath.

Perhaps trying a new bag of thistle might help. Sometimes the seed gets stale and the birds won't eat it, even though it smells OK to you. (07/14/2010)

Feeding Yellow Finches

Thanks so much for your advice on feeding yellow finches. Actually, I did just that. I threw out last years seed and bought a new feeder and new Nyger seed. Now I keep looking outside waiting for my arrivals. Thanking you. Joyce (07/14/2010)
