How to Get Goldfinches to Eat from Your Hand
With a little patience and some handy know-how, getting Goldfinches to eat from your hand is possible.
[edit] Steps
- Attract goldfinches by setting up a finch feeder in your yard.
- Have the finches get used to your presence by getting close to the feeder while they eat.
- Make a plaster cast of your hand and put it near the feeder (with some seed in it) to get the birds used to eating out of the human hand.
- Put some seed in your hand and offer it to the birds. Be persistent, it may take them a while to get used to your offerings.
- Have fun with them!
