Ive got dandelions coming up to flower and milk thistles beside the neighbours house , was wondering if anyones finches eat it and do you need to maybe break it up or crush it coz mine wont touch it .
Parrots love it though .

Thistles or scotch thistle is the favourite of the european goldfinch.There isn't any where I live so I feed a lot of dandelion heads and it might be a suprise to some as my strawberry finch will eat it as well.

Hey, I put a whole thistle (no roots, I'm not that good at pulling weeds 
) in on Saturday and the whole thing has vanished! 
though, some of the leaves have been dragged around into the nest, ;) I could only find one leaf lying around when I cleaned them out today
Yes, parrots love them too
