GARDEN GATE: Episode 324 – Feeding American Goldfinches – (Aug 29, 2025)

This summer there sure have been a lot of American Goldfinches at the feeders! These birds are such a joy to watch and hear their sweet songs. They are nesting right now and feed their young seeds, so they really appreciate you keeping your feeders full and clean. The finch tube feeders from Aspects in today’s episode are really good quality, easy to clean and guaranteed for life. The finches sit and pull the little seeds from the small holes with ease. It’s best to keep your niger seed nice and fresh as it does go bad quicker than other bird seed. One of our favourite blends is called NiChip. It has little chips of sunflower seed mixed in and also works well in the Aspects feeders.
