Thistle seeds, niger seeds, and canary seed are all excellent for small birds like finches. They will also eat suet and fruit. Black oil sunflower seeds are a favorite of many birds and will attract finches, but will attract the bigger birds, too. Also, make sure you have a water source nearby so that the finches can bathe or drink. Finches like to eat from tube feeders, sock feeders, and hopper feeders. You should be seeing more finches and smaller birds soon.
