Yes - I know that I complained about various birds consuming the rowan berries, but at least I saw the blossom, and the partially ripened berries, before the lot were consumed. But bullfinches scoffing the buds before there's any chance of flowers and berries is a bit much

Is there any other bird food that would be more to their taste, and would attract them away from the buds? I have hanging bird feeders for sunflower kernels, peanuts and fat balls, along with ground feeding of grains. Or is it a lost cause - and I just need to admire the admittedly handsome bullfinches.
