KayteeWild Finch Bird Food Stand Up Bag, 5 Pounds

I got this and filled it with wagner's nyjer seed. It replaced a plain single finch sock that I filled with walmart sold nyjer seed.I am very pleased with it, I was also very pleased when I saw the one I got was yellow. I had found some information that claimed you can attract more goldfinches with the color yellow.I have seen mine look like the picture except for the color yellow instead of green.I also like the fact that unlike plain sock feeders this has a hopper at the top, that way I can fill the hopper and the socks stay full as the birds eat. When I first got it I noticed some feed made its way out of the hopper and I assumed it was because of me using it wrong, but upon closer inspection I see there are 4 clips that hold the clear part of the hopper on tight, 1 of the 4 appears broken, so I will buy another one of these (I need another feeder anyway) and return the old one if I find the new one doesn't have a 4th broken clip. With the number of finches I get the hopper goes from full to about 1/5 in a single day, so I have to fill it everyday. The hopper holds quite a lot of feed, so it is definitely popular with the finches.I put a long clear finch feeder right next to this one and they only use it if there's no room for more finches on this one (or if there's an aggressive finch that thinks it needs more room). Maybe I should have just gotten a 2nd one of these, but I like to give my birds variety.Edit: It hasn't been but maybe 1 or 2 days since I wrote the review and already the birds have emptied the hopper and about 1/4 of one of the socks in a single day. I bought the 10 lb bag of nyjer feed when I bought the feeder, and I just emptied that bag. It has been about 8.5 days (.5 is because I'm typing this in the morning and I got it shipped in the afternoon) and I have already used up the entire 10 lb bag of feed. I have another type of finch feed that I haven't used the whole bag of yet. Guess I'll get to see if it is the feed or the feeder that makes the birds flock to this thing. I used the last of my old bag of feed which filled maybe 1/4-1/3 of the hopper, then filled it the rest of the way with the other type of feed, shipping on my new bag of feed is expected for 2.5 days from now, so I figure I'll get about 2 days worth of testing on the 2nd feed type. I'll probably update this review again once that test is done. It seems I get more finches than other people talk about or post pictures/videos of, maybe its because I live in a small farming town while most of the others probably live in urban environments. I'm debating getting a camera and taking pictures of the feeders in action to upload here, if I do they probably won't be super high quality pictures because I'm not rich enough to get a high end camera.Final Edit: I'm pretty sure its the feeder and not the feed that attract the birds because even with me using my 2nd type of finch feed (which isn't 100% nyjer like the first one) I still got a ton of finches. This time I actually got MORE finches, but I think that is because I just had a snowstorm pass by. After the snowstorm the finches emptied the hopper and emptied about 2/3 of each sock feeder leaving both socks at about 1/3 full lol. My 2nd less popular feeder got a lot more action today too.As far as my experience feeding finches it seems that they prefer feeders that are very close to trees. When I moved my feeder pole closer to a tree the number of finches at my feeders increased. They also like to go in big groups, so if you want finches you need a lot of places for them to perch and eat, if you only have a small finch feeder then they will pass your house up and go somewhere else. As far as feed they seem to prefer nyjer or a mix of nyjer and sunflower hearts. They also seem to like the color yellow. I'm just giving these tips for people that would like to get into finch feeding because it took me at least half a year before I started getting large numbers of finches because I did almost every one of those tips wrong :p I've also read they like coneflowers that have gone to seed. I'm debating growing some coneflowers at my house this year. Coneflowers also apparently lure hummingbirds (and pollenating bees) before they go to seed.

This has been the best finch feeder I have bought. Best response from finches. One bag for immediately. The other sock is holding up extremely well. However, I can't find replacement socks at the kaytee store.

I wish I had purchased this years ago! This is pne of those things that make life easy and less messy! I'm going to purchase more to give as gifts.

The seed was excellent for feeding smaller birds, but was slightly overpriced. Would buy again.

Got these due to other one broke, I enjoy watching all the birds that come around, easy to fill

two of the socks already ripped through...are there stronger socks available?

The house finches has discovered this ,and love it .
