Goldfinch feeding preferences just might have something to do with the state of
niger thistle seed.
I have been informed that niger seed has very short shelf life, that it should
only be purchased in small quantities, and that feeders should be refilled from
the bottom so old seed does not accumulate.
Can anyone substantiate this?
Good birding,
Randy
