Original Blattner Goldfinch is available in Europe. I think it's the best seed for goldfinches.

Blattner's mix contain seeds goldfinches really like that we can't find here in the U.S. like teasel, larch and thistle. I have had to learn to make due with the seeds available in my area. I mix my own blend. I use 40% canary, 10% rape, 10% nyger, 10% hemp, 10% flax, 10% oat groats and 10% shelled sunflower. They also like poppy seeds, I add poppy seeds to my egg food but you can add it to the mix if you prefer.

jonvill mix fine for goldies if u give them too much of their fav oily seeds the liver gets too fat, if u can collect safe wild seed heads from weeds his condition will be sweet
