Step 4Drill Small Holes
Now I need to mark the holes for feeding. I drilled 1/8" holes 2" above each of the big holes I just drilled. Because the seed needs just a bit more room to get out, I lengthened the holes just slightly by pulling the tube sideways while the drill was running. This created an oval hole.
Also drill a 1/8" hole through the tube just below the top cap. The wire hanger will attach here.

thistle seed is very tiny and the finch beak is very thin. try using 1/16" bit and make slots 1/4" long running top to bottom. Now for the show - the finch is the only bird known to hang upside down and eat. Make your slots under the perch instead of above. No other birds will eat at this feeder.and it is awesome to watch them land, swing over, and eat.
