Niger seed has always proven to be a very popular wild bird food item for attracting goldfinches, siskin and redpoll into your garden to feed. Niger seed is best administered from a niger seed feeder with a seed tray to help prevent waste. Alternatively it can be administered from a bird table with other popular wild bird food items or used in-conjunction with ground feed. Niger seed happens to be a close relative of sunflower seed, so it no surprise to find that it will always attract a steady stream of wild birds into your garden to feed. Niger seed has proven to be particularly important for garden birds during the inclement colder months of the year and early spring when hi-energy foods are always in short supply. Niger seed plays an essential role at this time of the year by helping many of our native species survive throughout these harsher periods. Wild birds will naturally seek out hi-energy oil rich foods such as niger seeds, so it should be no surprise find that these small black shiny seeds become totally irresistible to many of the birds which visit your garden to feed.
