Question by mockingbird: mould in a finch bird-feeder?
I had a bird-feeder up with finch seed and holes for finch seed, and i hardly ever got any birds, but half the seed sprouted and turned mouldy. is there any way besides taking the feeder down when it rains (since if it starts when i go to work or at night i can never be sure). Is this just a bad feeder for finch seed? should i screw on the larger holes for regular seed and put regular seed into it (tho i don’t wanna feed the sparrows and cardinals… i wanna feed the singing house finches!)? it is a bad place for a feeder hanging off apartement wall but i saw 2 finches on it today, which is why i took it down just not cuz it was filled 1/2 way with mould. it was only up for 1 month! can i use this feeder at all or should i get another one? do they all do that and i should just waste seed? annoying…

I’m pretty sure its just because the seeds were too packed into it. Try not putting so much in it, and stir them around with your hand before you hang it up. If that doesn’t work, I would reccomend a new bird-feeder. I’m pretty sure you could find one especially for a certain type of bird.
Best of luck!
