Thistle Seeds..


I bought a bag of these for the birds, and had at least 13 finches on the tree this morning, 7 of which were Goldfinches...

My friend sells them on ebay but for planting and growing though so in smaller batches.

Random. the thistle seed sold as bird food isn't actually a thistle, it's from a plant called the Nyjer plant, native to Ethiopia, so you don't need to worry about scattered seed growing as thistles in the garden! It's high in protein and fat and adored by finches. It's pricier than regular bird seed. Most places that carry regular bird seed have it......

No wonder we have finches already! We were told they are high energy and good for winter!
