[Birdtalk] thistle seed socks

[Roostertael at aol.com]

Hi,
 
If anyone else is wondering why you don't have many goldfinches, and you  are 
using the newer long socks with the American Goldfinch or the flower printed  
on them, the birds have trouble getting the seeds out. I dug out a couple of 
old  long socks that have a little larger mesh and material that will stretch 
and got  the finches back. In fact I still have a dozen lesser and about 
thirty American  Goldfinches. Lots for this late in the year. The American 
Goldfinches like  sunflower chips, and that is what kept them here until I put the old 
socks out.  Maybe advice for next year.
