JC and LJ - I feed approximately 200 little gold finches - and they are eating me out of house and home. (And, I love it!)

I have four of these mesh thistle socks hanging outside my kitchen window. At any given time, there are 20 to 30 birds on each one. They must be refilled with thistle seed every three days.

Hi Yorkie, we have dozens and dozens of Gold Finches in our yard too. When I went Fri. to buy more Niger Thisle the store was out and didn't know when they would get more. My GF’s are eating at the other feeders but I don't know how long that will last. I am upset!

That would thrill me to death, yorkie. What kind of hanger do you have as I may look into that. The squirrels tore up my nice finch feeder. I bought a nice big shepherd’s hook last year and they could climb that tiny little pole.
