I wanted people to answer my question and see the Thistle feeder I got.


Question:

When should I start putting out Thistle seed for the Goldfinches?
Some of you have mentioned that you are seeing them around
your garden.

Dying to try out my new, sturdier finch feeder. The feeding
stations are ALL metal. Got it at 50% off at one of the Big Lots.
Red. price (at Big Lots) was $40. So--I paid $20. Must be good!
Easy to clean too--You pull out the rod that holds all the feeding stations
in place--and they all come apart. Now I have an empty tube to clean out.
Reassembling it may be a bit tricky--as now I will have to position the
feeding stations, just so, and insert the rod all through the centers to hold
them all in place.

Looks good to me--and squirrels should not be able to get to the feed.

I does make me leery though--how come it is in Big Lots? Was something too
hard or too complicated for the general public?
Was it discontinues for some reason?
