After two or three days, the house finches noticed it, and now I have about three dozen house finches out there every morning, plus occasional Mourning Doves, California Quail, and California Towhees. It has three platforms. I had put out thistle, flax seed, "finch mix", and peanuts. But those were eaten only after the sunflower chips were gone. Maybe try to lure them with some branches with berries. David Forthoffer At 7/13/2004 05:41 PM, Lisa TheFrogFan wrote: >I recently moved to a new office in Menlo Park.
