I noticed the male that visits my feeders seems only to pull out the
safflower seeds on one particular feeder (it's not a tube feeder, however).
Interesting observation!

> Our visitor is still here today - has been most of the day, and was joined
yesterday and today by another, both males. They strongly prefer safflower
to sunflower seed, feed only at tube feeders, and one of them almost never
gets any seed - the other chases it away, as well as the House Finches and
other birds. We have observed both of them at one time trying to feed on the
one feeder at the same time.
> The distance from the perch to the hole is rather short on this feeder,
and the bird has to use its wings for balance while grabbing a seed, briefly
exposing the red underside of the wings. They look like red and white
azaleas with a black head. I can't wait to get my film back!
