I am trying to remember what they said about the fresh thistle, something like it gives out a halo that the birds can see. I bought a large bag of thistle at Petco and even though I could see the GF feeding at the other feeder they would not go near the thistle. I mentioned this at an old fashioned feed store (Wabash) right in the middle of Houston (if you can imagine that) and they told me about checking for oil. I checked and found no oil in the old thistle, put the fresh thistle and the GF were all over it in 15 minutes or less.

Hi Ditter, nice to see you, and “Welcome” hereabouts.
It’s always great to have “one more” to talk birds with:)
