Thank you everyone for welcoming me in the forum. I think I need to introduce me a little bit more.
I am a bird lover. I am looking to attract the finches in my garden. First of all I have decided to provide them some open seeds.
But I think this will not be the good idea for my garden, and ficnhes as well. So, I am going to use the finches feeders to attract these
beautiful birds in my garden. Anyone here having the experience of using these seed feeder. Please let me know your thoughts.
I will be very thankful to you.

It is not common practice or encouraged in Australia to artificially feed wild birds. But growing natural foods for them is encouraged. Many of us grow seeding grasses in our yards, and native trees that attract birds and insects. Planting a "bird garden" of seeding grasses instead of or as well as a vege garden works. If your garden is small fruiting vines can work well. Food for you and the birds.

I used to feed wild finches in America so I know a bit about it. Have you looked at Wild Birds Unlimited ( https://www.wbu.com/ ) yet, they've got stores all across America and have a great range of bird feeding things.
