A Niger seed feeder, also known as a Nyjer feeder, is a specialised bird feeder designed for dispensing Niger seeds. Certain bird species, especially finches, favour these tiny, black, oil-rich seeds. To feed these birds, you'll need a special niger bird seed feeder. Typically, these feeders, come in a tubular design with small feeding ports and perches suitable for the tiny beaks of finches. This design helps prevent spillage and seed waste. Niger seeds are a nutritious food source for many birds and can attract colourful finches to your backyard or garden.
Consider using the Squirrel Buster® Finch Niger Seed Bird Feeder for the best niger seed-feeding experience in your garden. This feeder is designed with a clever mechanism that shuts off the ports when squirrels or large birds land on the perches, making it squirrel-proof. Additionally, it is made of durable, weather-resistant material for long-lasting use.
