A feeder for goldfinches comprising a hollow body for receiving and retaining feed, at least one perch on and exterior to the body, and a feeding opening positioned below and cooperating with the perch so that the opening is accessible only to a gold finch feeding upside down.

The invention further comprises a method of attracting goldfinches and excluding housefinches comprising providing a feeder according to the invention, filling it with the appropriate goldfinch feed and hanging it.
