You went to so much work to exclude the house finches. They have to eat
too.
The longer you feed birds, the more you will see the beauty in all of
them.

No. As I said in my post:

"... We also still use the conventional rightside up feeders for other
birds on the opposite side of the house well away from the finch feeders.

The house finches, sparrows et. al. now use the other feeders. And it
really wasn't difficult. The other birds, house finches, sparrows and
towhees were hogging the feeders and keeping the goldfinches away. The
only birds we discourage are pigeons and grackles. Olin
