Who doesn’t love to see the bright yellow American goldfinches cheerfully chirping at their feeders? In this video, Stephanie, one of our backyard bird feeding specialists, discusses some of the foods and feeders she uses to attract goldfinches to her yard. She also includes some handy tips about how to keep these somewhat finicky birds happy so they’ll continue to be regular visitors at your feeders.
Goldfinches are found in most habitats across North America, including backyards. To attract goldfinches to your yard, we recommend offering the right food and designated finch feeders or a designated finch-feeding station.
We recommend offering fresh Nyjer® (thistle) because it is goldfinches’ favorite feeder food. Nyjer has a high oil content and is an excellent energy source for these active birds.
Create a goldfinch feeding station with our exclusive Advanced Pole System® (APS) Basic Setup Hanging Hardware. It’s easy to construct and maintain. Just plant it into the ground, add the extension poles and arms, and top it with the decorative finial. Then fill and hang your feeders.
