Answer by margecutter
It depends on how many other sources of food are available – both natural and at other feeders in the neighborhood. I have a thistle feeder up all year long, and some days the finches eat up all of the feed in the feeder and other times there is not a single bird on the feeder all week.
Other factors are placement of the feeder – make sure there is ample cover for the birds to hide in if a predator appears, but not enough cover so a cat could hide in wait of them.
If there is a lot of activity around the feeder (predators, pets, kids), the birds will not come.
