Fig. 1. Goldfinch, breeding plumage
Nyjer Finch Tube Feeder, 15 in.
Spinus tristis — American goldfinch
Six micro-ports sized for tiny nyjer seed, on a slim tube goldfinches and pine siskins can cling to from any angle.
Leaves us in 1–2 business days. Standard delivery takes 3–6 business days in the contiguous US — free on orders of $75+, otherwise $7.95. Unused items can be returned within 30 days — see our returns policy.
Field tip: Buy nyjer in small amounts; it goes stale in about 3 months.
Field notes on this piece
Goldfinches nest late — often not until July, when thistle down is available — so this is the feeder that stays busy after your others go quiet. In winter, siskins and redpolls irrupt south some years and crowd it.
Small ports mean very little spill. Shake the tube every few days after rain so seed doesn’t clump at the bottom.
