Nyjer seed—also known as niger seed—is one of the most nutritious and specialized food sources for wild birds, prized for its high energy content and ability to attract some of the most colorful and desirable garden species.

Why Nyjer Seed Is Excellent for Wild Birds

High Energy, Oil-Rich Nutrition

Nyjer seed is naturally rich in oils and healthy fats, providing birds with a concentrated source of energy. This makes it especially valuable during cold weather, migration, molting, and breeding seasons when birds need extra calories to thrive.

A Favorite of Finches and Small Birds

Nyjer seed is particularly loved by:

Goldfinches

Siskins

Redpolls

Greenfinches

Its small size and soft shell are perfectly suited to birds with fine, delicate beaks.

Easy to Digest & Eat

The tiny seeds are easy for birds to handle and digest, allowing them to feed efficiently without wasting energy. This supports sustained feeding and better overall health.

Minimal Waste, Cleaner Feeding Areas

Birds consume nearly all of the seed, resulting in very little husk or debris beneath feeders. Less waste means cleaner gardens and better value for bird feeders.

Encourages Regular Feeder Visits

Once birds discover a reliable nyjer seed source, they tend to return frequently. Its high palatability helps build consistent feeding patterns, increasing daily bird activity.

Ideal for Specialized Feeders

Nyjer seed works best in mesh or tube feeders designed for small seeds, helping reduce spillage and ensuring birds can feed safely and comfortably.

A Premium Choice for Vibrant Birdlife

Nyjer seed offers targeted nutrition, high energy, and exceptional appeal to finches and other small birds. By adding nyjer seed to your feeding routine, you’re supporting healthy birds while attracting a lively, colorful display to your garden all year round.
