Niger Seed for wild birds

An excellent company to deal with and my Niger was despatched quickly, and of good quality and price

My resident tribe of goldfinches love your Niger seed and spend their mealtimes loudly squabbling over who can eat the most in the shortest time. If there's any left the other birds love it too - all the way up to the largest pigeons. I take it to mean not only is it tasty but nutritious and full of essential yumminess to keep them well and healthy through the cold and wet months ahead.

Every time I look out my window at my feeders the Goldies are fighting to get to the feeders, it says it all, just so pleased to see the little ones getting good quality seed Many Thanks

We get many charms of goldfinches in the garden and surrounding areas - they are lovely to see and listen to and they just love the Niger seed - they seem to know when the feeder has been filled because they cover it in no time. Great product.

Two weeks ago I purchased 12.5 kg of Niger seed and whilst it arrived safely and is of great quality, I’m afraid that I have experienced total disappointment. I also purchased at the same time a Niger seed feeder and thus far have had one single ‘none-goldfinch’ bird fly away with a single seed. I checked the seed in the feeder yesterday and it remains free flowing and devoid of mould. I have read that it should be discarded after 4 weeks if it’s not eaten as it will doubtless have dried out.
I have been so patiently waiting for the goldfinches as I understand their numbers are declining and I wanted to do my bit; however, in the choice between sunflower hearts and the Niger seed there is no contest …the sunflower hearts win the day, every day.
I live in close proximity to Filey Dams, a haven for many bird species and I had hoped to have goldfinches aplenty and possibly siskins and other Niger seed eating birds visiting but for these seeds it’s been an abject failure. I paid a total of £47.98 for the seed and feeder and in hindsight wish I had simply stayed with sunflower seed. I won’t be buying this Niger seed again unless a miracle happens to get the goldfinches to start eating it. I wonder if I’m doing something wrong but a feeder is a feeder and it holds seed. It goes on a feeding station and then it’s over to the goldfinches etc. SO, SO DISAPPOINTING. It’s NO-ONE’S fault…. But I think I need to have a serious word with the birds lol.
