Most birds are seasonal ... I don't think they care which kind of seed you feed them so don't worry about their 'favorite' :-)
I also would not be cleaning their feeder except in the Fall and place back out and not touch until the following Fall (except pouring food) because many birds are 'turned off' from the human scent and scent of any chemicals ...
PS ... The yellow Finches in my area were only here for about six weeks ...
birds can't smell. clean feeders to prevent mold, do not listen to this person.
Our yellow finches stay year round, but the change color somewhat in the fall/winter months. I'm not sure why, but unless you're expecting it, you may not think they're the same birds.
I am in Massachusetts & this was the 1st year only a few (2 or 3) finches showed up. We had the special food, but just a few of the yellow finches & no purple ones.
Don't dismay. They will return in the June/July timeframe. They go up to the mountains for about six to eight weeks and then come back down and stay for the rest of the summer.
