Niyer Seed

A must-have for attracting goldfinches and other small garden birds

If you're hoping to fill your garden with the cheerful sight of goldfinches, Nyjer Seed is one of the best foods you can offer. These tiny, oil-rich seeds are a favourite of many small finches and provide a valuable source of natural energy throughout the year.

Best served in a specialist nyjer seed feeder, this highly nutritious seed is ideal for encouraging regular visits from some of the UK's most colourful garden birds.

Why we like it

Nyjer seed is one of those foods that rewards a little patience. It can take birds a short while to discover a new feeder, but once they do, they'll often return day after day. If you're serious about attracting goldfinches, this is an essential addition to your feeding routine.
