Comments from happy customer:
Prior to the Corona Virus I always bought a Free and Clean bird seed as well as Finch Food at a local chain store. I always attracted a number of small birds as well as a few Cardinals and Woodpeckers but never any Gold Finches even though one of the feeders was just for them. I ran out of the Free and Clean food a few months ago and, as I was now sheltering at home, I searched the internet for a replacement. I found your site and bought your No Mess blend. Voila' .... I now have the most beautiful Gold Finches, some all yellow and some blended, but they are gorgeous. They love your blend. Sometimes I have as many as 6 on the feeder at one time. And, they usually pass up the other feeder with Finch Food designed just for them. I'm getting more birds, other than finches, as well. So, I thank you, Ben, and so do all the beautiful birds that now frequent my back yard.  from verified customer purchase
