Bird feeders for finches are available pretty much everywhere. Local discount stores have birdfeeders for finches as well as many other types of birds. Having a wide variety of feeders on your property will not only feed those that are already around but it becomes an instant magnet once the "word" gets out.
Finches are lively little birds with their singing and darting flying patterns. Because they are such colorful little creatures they add color to any landscape and will bring a sense of joy to those who enjoy bird watching. Finches vary in colors from brown to reds to vibrant yellows. They are not only colorful but excellent singers and will liven up any area that feeders are hung for them.
Bird feeders for finches can also be built if you are the woodworking type. They can be made to hold the average wild birdseed to thistle which finch love. The more food you put in the feeders the more finches you will attract.
When hanging finch bird feeders it is important to think about the birds' safety. If the finch does not feel safe from predators they will not be so apt to eat. If there are things such as cats around the feeders need to be hung higher up. By feeding these beautiful birds we do not want to put them in danger.
Most discount supply stores will sell finch bird feeders made of plastic. When looking over the feeders and deciding which ones to buy there are a few things to keep in mind. First, if you will be using the wild bird seed you will need to look for those that are made for seed. Because many buy choose to buy thistle and the bird feeders made for seed the seed may have a tendency to spill out. Although the finch will eat the seed the squirrels will also become your best friends. This is perfectly fine for those that like squirrels but many do not want squirrels near their houses.
When looking at the plastic bird feeders for finches check the construction. With the changes in weather from hot summers and the extremely cold winders they have a tendency to crack. The ones that are not constructed well will crack within the first year. By buying ones that are a bit more expensive you will have a feeder that will last more than a year. This will save you both time and money in the long run.
Another thing to keep in mind is when choosing the bird feeders for finches is to check to make sure they can be cleaned. There will be times when it is advisable to take down the feeders and give them a good thorough cleaning. This keeps the ports where the seeds flow through open and will prevent blocking of the feeder.
Another great type of bird feeders for finches is the type that will go on a window. Many have the suction cups so that they will stick to a clean window. Many different sizes are available and will make for a great addition to a kitchen window. In the morning when the finches are feeding you will be able to see them up close. When first putting the bird feeders for finches on the windows it may take a bit of time for the finch to find it. Once they do you will have entertainment daily.
