Sunflower Bird Feeder

What kind of food do you put in finch feeders?

I got my grandpa a finch feeder for Father's Day, and he wants to know what kind of seed to put in it. He has a basic wild bird seed mix and black oil sunflower seeds for his main bird feeder. Are these ok, or do finches eat something specific?

Thistle is the best and mostly the only type of seed finches eat. my mom is a bird freak and so my dad keeps plenty of feed for the on hand. he puts the wild bird feed out for the other birds while the finches get thistle. and he keeps the bird bath with fresh water in it. (he even makes homemade houses for our little friends lol) also he keeps fesh nectar for the humming birds. tell your grandfather I said have fun and enjoy!!!!
