Cole's® Finch Friends™ Seed

Attracts many types of finches (House and Purple finches, Goldfinches, Pine Siskins, Red Polls), as well as smaller beaked species like juncos and buntings.

Any time is a good time to feed birds! However, it is really helpful to supplement our feathered backyard friends with bird seed during migration and winter seasons. This is when they are expending lots of energy traveling long distances and working to retain heat—and there may be additional food scarcity.

Any type of feeder, but particularly mesh tube feeders or tube feeders with thistle inserts.

As often as you need or desire. However, we recommend checking your feeder every week.

Use this seed as a blended seed, or get creative and mix seeds to create a custom mix. Fill your bird feeder so it can close properly and refill biweekly to weekly (as needed). Clean up spills when filling feeders or underneath feeders as needed.

Install at least 10-12 feet from home structure, windows, or potential collisions. Consider squirrel deterrents like squirrel baffles, especially if the feeder is attached or located in a tree.

We recommend storing the bird seed in a closed container within a dry, cool location. This storage will avoid unwanted pests and issues with seed spoiling due to moisture.

Birds may not show up immediately after placing seed, feeders, or houses in your yard. They need the right habitat to feel safe and avoid conflicts with potential predators—so adding plants to your backyard that offer perching, shelter, nesting, or foraging habitat will encourage birds to use feeders and houses. Adding some sort of water feature—especially moving water—will encourage birds to find your backyard too.
