(3,322 posts)There were a couple on the feeder a couple of weeks ago when, winter storm, hit our area in eastern NC. We got a measly 3 inches of snow, that was gone in a couple of days. Temperatures were in the teens and low twenties, so ready and plentiful sunflower seeds were probably an oasis.
It was the first time we had goldfinches at the feeders, in the 8 years since moved here. They flitted around the feeder among the regulars, like tufted titmouse, chickadees, house finch, nuthatches, cardinals, hairy woodpeckers, and beyond. Once the days warmed up they disappeared.

(31,385 posts)They often fight at the feeders and beak smaller birds. It's probably why specific Goldfinch feeders have so many ports, more 'chairs' at the table. They might be happier foraging on the ground.

(3,322 posts)The reason I never see at my bird feeders. I guess the cold and snow, made them adjust their habits a little. Thanks, for letting me know that. I will try to get sock feeder, for them. Maybe then they will come around.

(31,385 posts)in early Spring as the other birds do. They love their weed seeds, being vegetarians. I might try a sock feeder for them too, but they also love the hulled sunflower hearts in tube feeders.
