Kennedy Wild Nyjer (Niger) Seed Bird Food

Kennedy Wild Nyjer Seed (also known as Niger or thistle seed) is a premium, oil-rich bird food specially loved by finches and small garden birds. These tiny black seeds are packed with high levels of natural oils, protein, and easily digestible energy, making them one of the most effective feeds for attracting colourful finch species to your garden.

Whether you're an experienced bird feeder or just starting out, Nyjer seed is a rewarding choice that can bring lively flocks and vibrant activity to your outdoor space.

What is Nyjer Seed?

Nyjer seeds are very small, fine black seeds containing approximately:

• 40% Oil – Providing concentrated, long-lasting energy
• 20% Protein – Supporting growth, strength, and feather condition

Due to their small size, Nyjer seeds require a specialist Nyjer feeder, as they would spill out of standard seed feeders.
