The goldfinches are funny. They are so territorial for being so tiny. I have 2 finch feeders outside my kitchen window, and despite the combined 12 perches, they will often run one another off and try to have a whole feeder to themselves. They weren't quite so bad in the summer and all the perches stayed full much of the time, although there was still a lot of jockeying for position. Tiny? Did I say tiny? Well, they started out that way. Now there are a couple of them that seem like they could roll right off their little perches.
