It's A Finch Frenzy!

The Lesser Goldfinch are now nesting in the Hill Country. These birds nest late in the season because they are one of the few birds that feed only seed to their young. They will be hitting the feeders hard for the month of August and then they will taper down around the third week of September. Now is the time to make sure you have your feeder full of fresh Nyjer seed. Nyjer® (thistle) attracts finches of all kinds. Its high oil content is an excellent energy source for active birds and is best used in our specially designed finch feeders. It is important to keep the food fresh for our picky little eaters. Nyjer has a thin shell and is vulnerable to spoilage while in the tube. Once seed starts to dry out and become stale, finches will turn up their beak for fresher forage. Replace Nyjer seed in feeders every three to four weeks if it is not being actively eaten. Store your Nyjer in an airtight container for a longer shelf life, and buy in quantities that will be used up in a few weeks.
