Nyger Seed, 900g
£5.00
notes
A highly nutritious, oil rich black seed, providing birds such as goldfinches, greenfinches and siskins with lots of energy and protein, essential for the re-growth of feathers throughout the year. We recommend using a special nyjer feeder (or one with a seed tray) to reduce waste because this seed flows so easily.

Insights
Nyjer or (niger) seeds originate from the African Guizotia flower, a sweet, little yellow bloom. Seeds can dry out if left in feeders too long so replace after a couple of weeks if uneaten.
Details & Care
- Regularly cleaning bird feeders, bird tables and bird baths is vitally important to ensure birds stay healthy. RSPB recommends you clean bird feeders, tables and baths at least once a week. The water in bird baths should be changed daily.
- Always provide birds with fresh water for drinking and bathing.
