Product Overview. Nyjer Seed is the absolute favorite of finches, such as the American goldfinch, house finch, purple finch, pine siskin and other small songbirds. This tiny delicacy is used in finch feeders that have smaller holes and tiny perches -- perfect for the finches but discouraging to larger birds. Specifications.
Nyjer (also known as Niger and Thistle) is not grown in the US, though it is possible. Most of it comes from Singapore, Ethiopia and Burma. Once the seed is six months old after being picked, the finches are less likely to eat it.
