What part of the dandelion is good? I've been feeding the leaves only... can they eat the flower? Or the seeds?

And pine? Do you give them pine nuts?

Thank you, Batuhan, for the great pictures and information. All my birds enjoy dandelion leaves, especially the Euro Goldfinches. I can't wait for Spring to give them the flowers and seeds. I will be sharing my pine nuts with them also. More good info. from Finch Forum! =D> :D

Thanks Batuhan, I'll have to try the flower and see if they like it.

Looks like some are eating some kind of thistle. I see that pink one around here all the time. Never tried that one.

Thanks for the pics. Your goldfinches are beautiful.

Just went back and looked at all your videos. Boy those guys really do love the greens, eh? :lol:

My Society and my baby goldbreasts really loved the dandelion leaves and the society loves chickweed, but I haven't seen the female adult goldbreast eat many greens. Think I will have to try the flower heads and some thistle. That may peak her interest. :)
