Thistle is good as an additive to increase protein, but by itself I don't think it will work as well (never tried it though). Too much protein can increase your chances of contamination. Just check around pet stores for some wild bird seed, or check Walmart - they carry Pennington Finch Food (most people rinse Pennington's before use because its coated with 'Bird-Kote' which adds vitamins, minerals and other nutrients).
-------------------- To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.' Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence. Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains. Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.
Dont ask for finch seed, ask for wild bird seed thats the Actual finch seed, generaly they assume you want thistle. (around here anyway) I my self happend upon a large free source of wbs :-)
