  • What type of seed are a favourite of the goldfinch?
    Should the answer be niger?



    Top seed: Sunflower seeds are high in fat (higher in black than striped ones); sunflower hearts (the husked kernels) are a popular no-mess food; and niger seeds are a favourite of goldfinches and siskins (you will need a special feeder for nyger seed as they are particularly small).

    Our goldfinches only eat sunflower hearts, masses of them so I'm not sure which answer is correct :o

    I'm sure it's niger, as all the bird feeding sites list this as their primary food.

    But Dahnie01 is also right as they enjoy sunflower hearts equally.

    Apparently, it's only the male goldfinch that eats niger, as it's beak is longer than the females and is able to extractive niger seed. Having said this, I've seen both tucking in!
