Nyjer Seed
Nyjerseed is one of wild bird's favourite foods, particularly finches. Nyjerseed is a high energy, no mess, no waste food.
This tiny, oil-rich, energy-giving black seed is highly nutritious and may well entice goldfinches, greenfinches and siskins into your garden, if they are already present in your area.
We recommend using a special nyjer feeder with a seed tray to reduce waste because this seed flows so easily. Nyjer is a lot finer than other types of bird seed so you will need a special nyjer feeder which is usually made of mesh to hold the seed. Buy one with a number of perches on it and if you’re lucky you will see a whole flock of finches at it.
