The Pine Sisken , Redpolls, and Goldfinches, will eat the Nyger (thistles) seeds. I have 2 of these feeders that works really good for those type of birds.
I also do the same, as juneybug said, I spread some on the ground for the big bird, like Doves, Pine Grosbeak and Evening Grosbeaks, Starlings. The Jay here, seem to prefer the platform feeders off the ground I use the mix with corn also, and throw a few scoops of sunflowers on the ground as well. The Redpolls , and Sisken will eat with the Doves, if there isn't any room left on the tube feeders. I also have 2 big feeders, That I fill with Sunflower seeds. They are in different part of the yard.
