Niger Finch Bird Seed 5 pound bag

Cole's Niger Bird Seed is the favorite for beautiful wild finches like the American Goldfinch.  This seed works fantastic in a thistle sock or in a small hopper style bird feeder. Mourning Doves also love Finch food.  Other birds that will visit your hopper feeder with Niger Thistle Seed include Common Redpolls, Pine Siskins, Nuthatches, Chickadees and Downy Woodpeckers. 

Chickadees will visit the feeder all year round, and they turn color through the seasons, which makes them even more interesting to attract.

Niger seed is also called thistle seed, but it is not the noxious thistle weed we dig from our yards.  It is required to be heat-treated and sterilized upon entry to the United States. 

Store your bird seed, especially Niger thistle seed in an air tight container.  It is an oily seed, an excellent energy source for your birds, but if it dries out, it loses its effectiveness and the birds will not eat it.

Niger bird seed is imported primarily from Ethiopia, Nepal, Burma and India and repackaged for sale in the United States.  It is also known as Thistle Seed, nyger seed and Nyger bird seed.
