Go for the Gold(finches)
It’s time to go for the gold in your
yard, and you don’t need a pole
vaulting pit or an Olympic sized pool
to do it.
Goldfinches live throughout the United
States and southern Canada, a fact
that makes attracting them to your
backyard a bit easier.
In July and August, after the male has
serenaded the female with canary-like
songs, goldfinches begin their nesting
season. The location of the nest is
usually five to 10 feet high in trees or
shrubs and often near a water source.
But you can’t talk about goldfinches
without mentioning their favorite food,
Nyjer® (thistle). In fact, it’s one reason
goldfinches delay breeding until the
greatest number of thistle, dandelion
and other composite flowers are
seeding.
But that’s good news for you.
This delay gives you the opportunity to
focus your attention on goldfinches
during this exciting time of song and
activity (especially since other birds
can be less active and busy with their
new families).
So instead of an expensive trip to
London for the Summer Olympics, you
can bring the gold to your yard goldfinches that is.
Visit us soon to get everything you
need to keep goldfinches visiting your
yard.

Attract More Goldfinches to Your Yard
Take advantage of this golden opportunity
and prepare your yard for goldfinch nesting
season. Adult goldfinches will be raising
young and, once fledged from the nest,
showing them where to find food and water.
Food
Goldfinches’ favorite food is fresh Nyjer®
(thistle). It’s high in protein and fat (which
they love) and helps meet the demands of
nesting and raising a family.
Goldfinches Love to Eat
Nyjer® (thistle)
Goldfinches are also partial to sunflower
chips, their second favorite food.
Feeders
Our EcoClean® and Quick-Clean® Finch
Feeders are specially-designed for Nyjer and
are perfect for the small bills of goldfinches.
These feeders protect food from excess
moisture and are easy to clean with their
removable bases.
We also offer Mesh Finch Feeders that are
perfect for attracting goldfinches and
meeting their needs. Add a WBU weather
guard for protection from our wet weather!

EcoClean® Finch Feeder
Water
Goldfinches are almost exclusively
vegetarians. Unlike many birds that feed their
young insects, goldfinches feed their young
seeds. Because of this high-vegetation diet,
they drink a lot of water.
Goldfinches will also use a bird bath for
bathing. Attract birds with more success with
a Water Wiggler™. It creates ripples in the
water to attract birds’ attention. The ripples
also prevent mosquitoes from using the bath
as a breeding ground.
