Frequently Asked Questions

Why is niger seed important for goldfinches?
Niger seed (also known as nyjer seed) is a small, oil-rich seed that is a particular favourite of goldfinches, siskins and lesser redpolls. Its high oil content provides concentrated energy in a small seed that these fine-billed finches can easily handle.

Is this suitable for other finch species?
Yes — while specifically formulated for goldfinches and siskins, this mix is suitable for a wide range of smaller European finch species including linnets, twites, redpolls and similar birds.
