Product Details

Niger seed for birds (also known as nyger or nyjer seeds) are small black seeds, closely related to sunflower seeds. They are crammed with oils that are essential for a healthy diet.

Niger seed  comes from the ramtil plant, which is native to Ethiopia. Goldfinches, siskin and redpoll absolutely love eating niger bird seed!

Because niger seeds are very small, we recommend that you feed them from a special niger seed feeder. Niger Seed Bird Feeders are available from our site in a range of shapes and sizes, so you're sure to find a feeder that works for you and your garden birds!

We highly recommend providing niger seed for finches in particular. If you find that the niger seed is slow to move, but you are trying to entice goldfinches to your feeders, we recommend trying premium sunflower hearts as an alternative. But please note, you will have to use a different feeder since sunflower hearts will be too large for the small slits in niger seed feeders. 

Your niger seed for birds should be stored somewhere cool and dry. We recommend that it should be used within 5 months of purchase - just to make sure it stays fresh and nutritious for your garden birds.

Please note - if you would like to buy bigger quantities of our products (this can be any of our seed mixes, straights or peanuts etc)  we are able to offer quarter, half and full pallets of 15kg sacks. These will equate to 300kg (20 sacks), 600kg (40 sacks) or 1.2 tonne (80 sacks)  please call us for a quote on 01489 896785 or email us stating how much you would like to buy and also your delivery post code. For pallet deliveries we can offer very competitive prices!

I often look at other suppliers as it is possible to buy Niger Seed at a lower price. I am put off saving a few pounds though by the reviews of other sellers which so often complain of stalks and other extraneous "contamination" which blocks the feeder. I've never had an issue with this seller - great service and clean seed!
