I love the little finches. All colors of them. I love them because they never leave, we have them winter and summer. I love it when they great me from the trees in the morning when I go out to feed them at the pergola. They make such a cheery little sound...what about you, what do you like about the finches? _________________

We've got green finch, and I like them because they add life to the garden all through the year. Your finches are lovely! _________________ The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. -Bertrand Russell

I love to have all the different types of finches (and other birds) that come into my garden. The place just wouldn't be the same without them. I've managed to count around 30 species in all that have paid me a visit. _________________

Those finch fotos are quite nice, Sherry. They are such colourful little birds. I am glad that you post bird fotos from time to time. I like them. Thanks _________________ Sjoerd http://www.volkstuindersvereniginghoornenomstreken.nl/Page11.html

I don't think we have any I'm going to try to attract some this summer. My mom fills long, net bags with Niger Thistle and the finches flock to them by the dozens! Hers are little, bright yellow fellas. They tend to get pretty aggressive too Deanna

I have two gold finches that come around all year long. Their little chirps sound so pretty in the morning.
