Dec 11, 2020 · How do I get rid of Pine Siskins? Is there a Pine Siskin deterrent feeder? I only feed whole sunflower seeds in the shell on a porch feeder. They can't really eat them, so they sit at the porch literally all day and throw seeds on the ground and crap everywhere, chasing away the dozen or so bird species that used to visit away.

Sep 4, 2023 · Does anyone know if Pine Siskins prefer sunflower chips over Nyjer seeds? I have many Pine Siskins who visit my backyard and devour the sunflower chips at my feeders. I figured I'd give them more variety and purchased a 20lb bag of Nyjer seed from Wild Birds Unlimited 2 days ago, so I'm assuming the seed is fresh and of good quality.

Mar 29, 2024 · The siskins have become very territorial and fling the seeds all over the ground. I currently have three bird feeders, all of which have sunflower hearts. One of the feeders is a nyjer feeder, which I'm planning to put away for now, since this is one of the Siskin's favorite. This particular feeder empties twice as fast as the others.

The first picture is also a great look at the beak, which would be thicker (more finch-like) on a pine siskin. Warblers beaks are not as robust since they typically eat insects rather than seeds, although they’ll show up at feeders this time of year

Jan 24, 2021 · The pine siskin is often confused with the house finch because they are so similar in size and flight pattern that it can be difficult to tell them apart in these respects. I have read several guides on how to tell the difference between a pine siskin and a house finch, that is, considering their color, other physical features, and behavior.

Jan 2, 2024 · Female +House Finch+. All young goldfinches look like the adults by now, and Pine Siskins have a sharper, pointier bill and more visible yellow on the wings.

Sep 7, 2024 · Anyone know what bird this is? Looks like a pine siskin when I google on it, but they dont exists in Sweden? Or is it a Euroasian siskin? Taken today in Sweden.

Dec 31, 2022 · I'm really sorry but I'm pretty sure this is not a pine siskin. They have bigger beak, more like a finch's whereas this guy here has a thin beak (more like a blue tit). A pine siskin has a more rounded body shake (also more like a finch or sparrow).
