Living with Birds Niger Seed
Niger Seed
Tiny and oil-rich
First introduced in North American gardens, niger seed has now grown hugely popular here too. Rather like a dainty version of black sunflower seeds, tiny niger is equally oil-rich and nutritious.

Your questions answered
What bird food attracts goldfinches?
Goldfinches are seed-eating birds, with a particular fondness for husked sunflower hearts and niger seeds. These tiny black seeds are rich in oil and perfectly sized for their long, pointed beaks. Niger should be offered in specialized feeders, with small feeding ports that are designed to allow goldfinches to easily access the fine seed, whilst not letting too much escape and spill out, preventing waste.
Is Niger seed the same as thistle?
No - Niger and Thistle are two separate types of seed, coming from two separate plants. However, goldfinches in particular enjoy both types of seed.
