Nyjer Seed for Birds

Nyjer Seed, also known as 'niger seed', is the perfect bird seed for attract Goldfinches, Siskins and even the occasional Turtle Dove to your garden. These fine, oil-rich seeds are packed with energy, making them an ideal year-round food source for small, seed-loving birds.

Their high nutritional value has made Nyjer seed a favourite among garden bird enthusiasts and is even believed to have contributed to the rise in Goldfinch numbers across the UK. It's a simple way to support local wildlife while enjoying more colour and activity in your outdoor space.

Because the seeds are so small and lightweight, we recommend using one of our specialist Nyjer feeders, which have smaller feeding ports to help reduce waste. For even greater efficiency, pair your feeder with a feeder tray to catch any stray seed and make the most of every feed.
