Last Monday, we were sitting out on the back porch visiting with our dear friends F&B, when we started talking about all of the different birds that we all see in our yards. We mentioned the little finches, and how we loved to see them around The Compound. After F&B went home, Dad went to the garage and got out our finch feeder, and I ran up to Krogers and got a bag of finch food/seed. It didn't take long for the finches to find it and since then, we've kept a steady watch, making sure we keep the feeder full.
Last night, we were out of seed, so I ran up to Wally World and got a 20 pound bag of cardinal and finch feed. Well, the finches don't like this as much as the Krogers feed. They eat out the thistle and throw the rest on the ground. Evidently they don't know that beggers can't be choosers.
I was going to go to Meijers tonight and get a big bag of thistle seed but I decided not to. The finches can make do with the 20 pound bag of mixed seed I got last night, or they can do without.
