BEST sock feeder on the market from what I have found. I have tried three different brands and this is the one preferred by "my" finches. The holes in the other brands don't seem quite large enough; the birds have to work too hard to access the seed. They usually just give up. These need refilling almost daily whereas the "other brands" are still almost full after a week. Highly recommend.

I am very please with the Kaytee sock thistle feeders....they hold up well and now I have a good supply. I looked everywhere for the replacement socks and was happy to find them on Amazon. Now I can purchase thistle seed in larger quantity and save $$$ and keep my birds happy.
Thanks you Amazon!

I have four of the standard tube type finch feeders, different brands, but all more or less the same. These have been active and quite successful over the past several years and I was quite happy with them. This year was a bit different though.

Our entire place, which consists of several acres, mostly woods but a goodly size orchard and of course plenty of brush piles, has been turned into a pretty active sort of a bird sanctuary. We have a lot of birds and we always have our fare share of finches. For some reason though, and I know not why, we were suffering a dearth of finches this year! Even during spring migration we saw very few and even those seemed to be rejecting the feeders. My wife, bless her heart, picked up one of these finch mesh bags and I halfheartedly hung it on a dead limb close to our porch and the woods; which in all truth are more or less one in the same. Nothing at first happened but then, seemingly overnight, we were up to our chins with the little yellow critters.

I am completely sold on these things now. They are cheap, easy to hang, easy to fill and by the looks of them, quite well made. The birds seem to have no problem what so ever in extracting the seeds. The color, white, makes the birds stand out quite well and the sight of several working the same bag is great.

We have on our place 15 to 20 bird feeding stations, all home made for the most part, some are aesthetically quite nice; others are mere boards mounted to the side of the trees. These bags go perfectly with my haphazard "bird landscaping," which is actually quite secondary for us as the attraction of and care for the birds is our primary goal.

I now have two of these bags hung together; approximately 10 feet apart, and three others scattered about the rest of the acreage. All are being actively and heavily used. I note also that the chickadees seem rather fond of them as is some of the tufted-titmouse tribe.

I am pretty well sold on this product. I note that due to the excellent drainage that there is little chance of the seeds becoming moldy as they often to with the tube type feeders. The price here is great and it is easy to access. I continue to use the tube type feeders also, but still the action there is much, much slower than with these bags.

I had 2 finch feeder socks last winter which were gifts to me. The birds loved them so much I got a supply of 4 more this year to replace my worn out ones. I now hang 2 out on hooks attached to my deck rail and have such fun watching the goldfinches and house finches eating away. There will be 6 or more on a sock at one time and all are happy and content. I do put a rock into the bottom of each sock to give them some weight so they will not blow off the hook in the often high winds we have here. Works great!

Sock works as designed... but gave it only 3-stars because 1) it has a draw-string/tie attachment which can be difficult to attach to feeder. You can get them with an elastic band at the top - MUCH easier to mount! And 2) they are relatively short. There are longer ones available. Get the longer ones... you don't have to refill them as often!
