For a long time, these tiny seeds have been labelled ‘Goldfinch Gold’, although in recent years have been rivalled by the ever-popular Sunflower Hearts, Niger Seeds (also known as Nyjer Seeds) are an optional food to provide if you’re looking to encourage birds such as Goldfinches and Siskins into your garden. Be aware though, these seeds do require a dedicated Niger Seed feeder to feed them from.

More Information

These tiny yet highly nutritious seeds pack a punch when it comes to oil content, making them well worth the task for any hungry Goldfinch looking for a scrumptious high energy meal. Niger seeds do in fact have a husk around them meaning birds must first strip this tiny husk away from the seed within before consuming. However, this is no issue for the highly adapted Goldfinch or Siskin who have slender beaks to aid accomplishing this task. This does therefore result in small husks gathered below the feeders.

Due to Niger Seeds being so small, they can easily blow out or spill from regular seed feeders. Therefore, a dedicated Niger Seed feeder is required to feed these seeds. Niger Seed feeders utilise small holes at the ports of the feeder to prevent this from happening, and with Goldfinches and Siskins having such slender beaks they have no issues picking a singular seed out through the port hole.

As mentioned in the main description, Sunflower Hearts are also an option if you’re looking to encourage these birds into your garden with the added benefit of them being fed from any regular seed feeder. They also feed many additional species of birds over Niger Seeds, so if you are unlucky and can’t encourage Goldfinches or Siskins to your garden then Sunflower Hearts won’t go to waste unlike Niger Seeds. Please bare this in mind when deciding between the two options.

Niger seeds and feeder

Bought these as a gift for a very poorly young person. The birds love it and my friend will get hours of joy from it.

New food for our garden

Hoping to attract the goldfinches with this food - no sign yet but ever hopeful

We recently bought these seeds and the relevant feeder. Sure enough goldfinches turned up a few days later. Amazing, how did they know?
