Wild Delight Sock Finch Feeder, 13-oz bag

I hung this last night; the goldfinches found it early this morning, and I've had 3-4 hanging from it all day! I wanted a small amount to test my set up, and this fit the bill. The seed seems fresh, the sock feeder feels like good quality. Now that I have established its success with my winter invaders, I will plan to run larger quantities next winter! I did hang a baffle with the feeder as a weather guard.

Got this by accident in one of my orders, hung it up outside next to our regular feeder, nothing happened for a few days. I was just getting ready to take it down when I looked outside again and saw 2 beautiful Goldfinches pecking away at the seed sock. They love it and are beautiful to watch. Will be buying this on purpose when they go through it all.

I started buying these sock feeders years ago. The bring in the most beautiful little yellow finch birds. When these sacks are empty, I wash them and fill again with finch food. They don't last forever. The littl birds are a bit hard on them. I either try to mend them for a while, or, if close to the bottom, I tie a knot at the bottom. My house is at 5,000' It gets pretty dark, dreary and sometimes stormy here.Yet out my window are all these beautiful little yellow birds I'm able to to enjoy all winter.

I had tried finch socks before, and no finch or any other bird would come near it. Well, since we were now living in a different city, and there were several house finches and a few goldfinch already here, I thought I would try again. But nope! Hung for several days at the same feeding station, and had NO birds even check it out! The seed seemed fresh, very black and glossy, so as not to let it go to waste, I opened up the sack and poured the seeds into the tube feeder. The nyger seed was eaten readily (didn't see a bunch dumped on the ground on purpose like milo). Hence, the 4-star rating. My product came in a pristine white netted sack stuffed with fresh seeds. The birds here just had no clue or no interest in the sock. You might give it a try to see if finches or other small birds will go for it, but if they don't seem to notice it after several days, try mixing the seed in with other bird seed, or just offer it in a regular feeder. It might take a day or two for the birds to either find or get used to the sock. I left mine almost a week, and then gave up fearing the seed would go stale. I won't buy nyger seed in this format again.
