Feeder Tips: Dispense Finch Mix through a niger tube feeder. The seed openings are small and prevent seed from spilling. The tiny holes and short perches make these tubes exclusive to finches. Hang a Lyric Finch Feeder from a tree branch. Even on windy days, finches will delightfully feed on a swaying feeder. Pole mounted tubes, window tubes and selective tubes are all available and will work in many settings.
