September Birdfeeding Tips
 | American
Goldfinch
|
|
Clean birdfeeders and stock with fresh seed. Make sure you have a variety of seeds and feeders to attract a wide variety of birds. Goldfinches are late nesters and are now bringing their babies to the feeders. Feed them thistle or a finch mix in a finch feeder with tiny holes, or sunflower chips in a regular tube. Chickadee flocks are now forming. Put out black oil sunflower in a tube or hopper feeder to entice a chickadeee flock to include your feeder in their winter territory. Clean out and repair birdhouses. Birds such as bluebirds, nuthatches, and woodpeckers may use them to roost in during the winter.
