~My goldfinch feeder bag is suspended above a stone miniture elf on a swing. The two ropes shown are held in the cold hands of a Mr. Monk while my birds use the same ropes to gain a purch to their all time favorite food... thistle seeds. (digipix preview) I never see them eating anything else and these seeds are tiny. It could be that 100 thistle seeds equals only one calorie and they might need 50-100 calories on a bad day? This winter I have three 12" long nylon bags going and as many as 20 finches visiting my "Mr.Monk" station all day.
