Feed sunflower hearts. Between the feeders and the ground below them I have seen 40+ goldfinches. A wonderful sight.

I find it a little strange that your offer of hospitality is being ignored by the Goldfinch :shrug: Perhaps they are not happy where the feeders are hanging but normally there is always a few that are prepared to chance their luck. :)
