Finches of all kinds will flock to bird feeders filled with fresh Nyjer seed. Often mistakenly called “thistle” seed, Nyjer seed is from Eastern Africa and will NOT germinate into the common Thistle plant most people associate it with. Goldfinches, buntings, red polls, house finches and Pine Siskins especially love Nyjer seed and it’s fairly common to see chickadees grab some Nyjer seeds just for a change of palate.
