I have had House Finches drinking from my hummingbird feeders for a couple of years; even had to take the perch off the hummingbird feeder to reduce the House Finches sitting & drinking. Linda Craiger/Glasgow From: raptors@xxxxxxxxxxx: birdky@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: [birdky] Purple FinchesDate: Thu, 3 Apr 2008 12:33:04 -0400 I wonder if any of you have ever had Purple Finches feeding at a hummingbird feeder? I had a call yesterday from a woman that said for 2 years straight she has had purple finches drinking from her hummer feeders.With the short beaks they have I find that pretty strange.
