Description

Niger seed, also known as thistle seed or nyjer seed, is a tiny black seed that comes from the African yellow daisy plant. It is a popular bird food due to its high oil content and nutritional value. Niger seed is often used in bird feeders to attract a variety of wild bird species, including finches, sparrows, and buntings. It is rich in protein, fat, and fiber, making it a great source of energy for birds, especially during the winter months. Additionally, niger seed is also used in the production of bird seed mixes and can be found in pet stores and specialty bird feeding shops.
