Niger/Nyjer Seed

Niger seed, sometimes spelt nyjer, is a favourite of Goldfinches and Siskins. Niger seed is the seed from thistles, it is a small black seed that is long and narrow and has a high oil content. To prevent wastage this seed really needs to be dispensed from specialist niger seed feeders which have very small holes that Goldfinches and Siskins are experts at extracting. Ideal for birds with delicate bills.
