    We have a Goldfinch that loves sugar water! He comes and perches on the hummingbird feeder several times a day and actually drinks. Really ticks off the hummingbirds too!

    I am so glad I opened this post. Seeing the Goldfinch on the hummingbird feeder reminded me to make more sugar water for the hummers and Orioles.
    Thank you :stew2:


    My goldfinches never go to the Oriole sugar water feeder but I have seen the Chickadees and Downey woodpeckers there enjoying a sip or two.

    I love the contrasting yellow and black of your Goldfinch CK. Ours are very different here in Scotland. Yours obviously has a sweet 'tooth'. :-D
