Goldfinches Dislike New Feeder
9 Answers
Hi All, can anyone help with a query? We are lucky enough to have goldfinches in the garden and have put nyger seeds in a feeder for some years. As there are quite a few of them I recently bought another feeder- but they won't go near it, preferring to queue up to use the old one. What's up with them?

I think I'll get a new one similar to the old one and see if they come back to that. It may be that they're getting food from elsewhere (I'm in the countryside) or their numbers have dropped suddenly.
