[rec.birds] birds

Would like some help please:
I recently moved, less the 4 miles and can not attract the same birds
I had at other location even though I am feeding the same:
Mixed birdseed in one feeder
Sunflower seeds in two other feeders
Thistle seed in another.
I now have only purple/golden finches.
At the other location I had a wide variety and would like to have 
the variety again.
I would appreciate any suggestions that you may have.
Also there are a number of blue birds in the area and I would love
to attract them to a feeder.  I had read in a local paper that they
liked coconut and raisins, tried that but it did not work. Any 
suggestions on this?
Thanks
