ALL THE INFORMATION I PROVIDE IS BASED ON NORMAL OCCURANCES AND CONDITIONS.

A relatively complete list of which birds will directly or indirectly benefits from the use these feeders.
NOTE: Not all of the listed birds are in all States. (PINE SISKIN IS THE MOST WIDESPREAD AND ARE JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE with the AMERICAN GOLDFINCH A VERY CLOSE SECOND)
The following birds will directly use this feeder: American Goldfinch, Verdins,
Lesser Goldfinch, Pine Siskin, Indigo Bunting, Common Redpoll, Hoary Redpoll, House Finch, Purple finch, Fox Sparrow and Junco, ***Eurasian Goldfinch, Lawrences Goldfinch, *Black Cap Chickadee, *Carolina & Mountain Chickadee, *Tufted Titmouse and Red Wing Blackbirds apparently like to use these at times and will eat thistle.
Birds that will frequent the ground below the feeder: Morning Dove, Cardinal, Chipping Sparrow, FOX SPARROW (best bird for aerating the shells beneath the feeders) and White Throated Sparrow. Junco will use the feeder but prefer feeding close to or on the ground. Why will there be birds feeding beneath the feeder? There are always tidbits and pieces of the heart that remains in the shell. With thistle there is much less, but enough to still be attractive.

*Will do so much more frequently if no sunflower is offered at the feeding station. Chickadee will remain for longer periods of time, and will not just grab a seed and fly away.

***The Eurasian Goldfinch is a non-native species and since their release on Long Island, N.Y. in 1970; has managed to establish a population that is spreading across the US. It is also called the European Goldfinch
