Niger Seed

Product Details

Niger (which can also be spelt Njger or Nyjer) seeds are small, black, oil-rich seeds from the Ramtil plant, native to Ethiopia. Closely related to sunflower seeds, Goldfinches, Siskins and Redpolls absolutely love them!

High in calories and oil, niger seed is a nutritious source of energy for backyard birds and is one of the most popular types of bird seed. A favourite of Gold and Green Finches and Sparrows.

Because Nyjer is such a fine seed, it should be fed from a Niger Seed feeder to ensure the seed is not accidentally spilled and wasted. Birds that prefer Nyjer are seed-eating species, typically with small, pointed bills that can easily manipulate such tiny seeds. Many Niger-loving birds are also called clinging birds because of their habit of acrobatically clinging to the sides of feeders rather than perching while feeding, and many of them can even eat upside down – habits that help them feed on the natural seeds of flowers.

The siskins swooped in on the feeders as soon as I had filled them with niger seed even though I was only a metre away from them. It's wonderful to see their bright yellow colours so close.

Michele commented on 2022-06-17 13:30:00 and rated Niger Seed 12.6kg as "Very Good"

We've ordered from Twootz many times now and find their prices are competitive.
Not only that, the quality of the product is good and always very much appreciated by our visiting wild birds.
We were almost out of Niger Seed but our order arrived in time and the Goldfinches are happily feeding away and spitting black husks all over the paved area of our back garden like there's no tomorrow!
There's spaces for 10 Goldfinches to be able to sit and feed at the same time - 6 on the Niger feeder and 4 on a feeder filled with Sunflower Seed Hearts.
Definitely be ordering again soon.

Carole commented on 2022-05-07 23:28:22 and rated Niger Seed 25.2 kg as "Very Good"

Should have ordered earlier when I was about to run out. The Siskins, tits & finches rushed to feed when I filled up the feeders, having been days without any Niger seeds.

Penny commented on 2021-11-26 18:26:00 and rated Niger Seed 25.2 kg as "Very Good"

Goldfinches love them and pheasants like to pick up whatever has been dropped!

We have a variety of chaffinches, also bulfinches that love nyger seed. Even the sparrows feed upon them. They are good quality and cheapest around.

We got these specially for the goldfinches and they really love them........unfortunately the blue tits enjoy them too, rather than keeping to the peanuts and fat balls. Never mind....all the birds and animals need to be fed and your great products enable us to do that!

Ian commented on 2020-11-22 11:10:53 and rated Niger Seed 12.6 kg as "Very Good"

Our goldfinches are delighted with Niger seeds, squabbling to get on feeder to eat them.. ha ha

A winner with our numerous goldfinches, siskins & out one cole tit.

Keeps the goldfinches happy and the tits when the fat balls run out!
Thank you Twootz.

I bought this 12.6 Kg box of Niger seed from Twootz after a great deal of searching around different places. It was the cheapest around and should last quite a while. looking at the seed its good quality and well worth the price.

GAVIN commented on 2019-05-27 14:43:19 and rated Niger Seed 12.6 kg as "Very Good"

Excellent product, as always

Tony commented on 2019-05-21 18:53:29 and rated Niger Seed 12.6 kg as "Very Good"

Well, I'm flabbergasted. In fact my flabber has never been so gasted.

I needed to order a new stock of Niger seed. So I went on to my previous supplier and 12.75Kg of their seed was £32.20. Your Niger seed is £18.99 for 12.60Kg. There's no contest. I ordered from the other people. No, I didn't. Of course I didn't. I not made of money. Even if I were I still wouldn't order the £32.20 stuff.
I think they are taking the ***s.

Well done Twootz.

Carole commented on 2019-02-24 10:09:10 and rated Niger Seed 12.6 kg as "Very Good"

The siskins & goldfinches love these niger seeds & completely disappear from the garden when I've run out.

Carole commented on 2019-02-13 20:33:18 and rated Niger Seed 12.6 kg as "Very Good"

Siskins & chaffinches love these. I'm unable to count how many of these I have at once as there are so many.

Fantastic price for very good quality seed! Be buying it in 1 kg bags for years, but now we have a few more goldfinches, they are eating it fast, so the sackful will be much cheaper.

Tony commented on 2018-06-18 14:43:37 and rated Niger Seed 25.2 kg as "Very Good"

This Niger seed is great value, and the goldfinches absolutely love it.
I have purchased large bags of Niger seed from a competitor at a slightly cheaper price in the past, but it was false economy. The Goldies only tasted it but never returned. Because I had bought it a good while before I used up the last of the previous bag, it was pointless trying to complain to the other company, so I just decided not to go there again. Neither did my friends when I told them about the poor quality of the seed.
Obviously, to the human eye Niger seed is just a huge bag of small black seed, but theGoldies knew different.
As soon as I replaced the seed in the feeders with the seed from this bag they came back in huge numbers.
Lesson Learned. You get what you pay for.
I now buy all my seeds, suet pellets and blocks from Twootz.
Don't make the expensive mistake that I did. Buy from here and you will not be disappointed

Roger commented on 2018-05-11 11:22:29 and rated Niger Seed 12.6 kg as "Very Good"

Good quality product but still waiting for the gold finches to discover it.

It took few days until the birds found out about the niger seeds, but after that, they're constantly coming for the seeds.

Greenfinches and Tits love them

I have put the niger seed in the garden and our birds have not touched it. What can I do?

Tracey commented on 2018-02-27 12:51:08 and rated Niger Seed 12.6 kg as "Very Good"

Excellent value for money and the greenfinches, chaffinches and all the tits just love it. Use to shop at my local garden centre for bird food but I'm now a dedicated and good customer of Twootz.

David commented on 2018-02-14 12:28:13 and rated Niger Seed 12.6 kg as "Very Good"

Until we put up a Niger feeder we never saw Goldfinches, now we have up to 8; more each year.

Steve commented on 2018-01-09 15:48:48 and rated Niger Seed 25.2 kg as "Very Good"

The seed appears to be of a good quality. In our garden it only appeals to a small variety of birds, in particular the goldfinches. We have it in a feeder that only allows limited seed to come out at a time, which helps to stop wastage. That may be why the other birds are not prepared to go to the trouble of extracting the niger seeds, when they have other seeds and nuts nearby. But the niger is the only thing that those goldfinches eat, and they love it!

Liz commented on 2017-12-22 22:02:39 and rated Niger Seed 12.6 kg as "Very Good"

This Nigerseed is of better quality than what I have purchased in the past. Usually there are thick bits of twigs mixed in with the seed, but here there were none. My birds are very happy, as the twigs ususally end up over the feeding holes of the feeders. Now they don't have that problem. I am very happy with this purchase.

Excellent quality niger seed. Not only do the goldfinch love it but also siskins and sparrows. Whatever seed is on the ground, the wood pigeons and collared doves finish it off.

Penny commented on 2017-03-10 16:25:25 and rated Niger Seed 12.6 kg as "Very Good"

Excellent quality niger seed. Our gold finches and siskins are always eating from the feeders. Any seed that drops on the ground is eaten by sparrows, collared doves and wood pigeons.

The goldfinches love Twootz niger seed. So do the bluetits, great tits and chaffinches. The collared doves stand underneath the feeder picking up any seeds which drop onto the ground. Absolutely no wastage.

Linda commented on 2016-04-21 18:19:03 and rated Niger Seed 12.6 kg as "Very Good"

I now have a small flock of goldfinches visiting my garden. For such small birds they eat an awful lot of the Niger seed.

Penny commented on 2016-04-07 16:57:02 and rated Niger Seed 25.2 kg as "Very Good"

Brilliant quality seed and is loved by our many gold finch and siskins. Although we have a tray attached to the bottom of the feeder, any seed that drops on the ground is finished off by the wood pigeons, collared doves and sparrows.

I always buy my Niger seed from Twoots. It is always clean and free from husks and in the Autumn as soon as we put it in the feeder the Goldfinches arrive. We have more than a dozen of them. Big family group arguing and pushing each other to get to the seed. It is such a pleasure to watch them. Don't know how they know when we start filling the feeder but they are here within minutes.. A treat for them and for us too.

Since putting the Niger Seed out I tend to get quite a few goldfinches coming to the garden, something which never happened before.
I now continue to buy this seed as I find it to be far better value than others I previously purchased.

Beatrice commented on 2015-05-15 17:53:18 and rated Niger Seed 25.2 kg as "Very Good"

This is an excellent product. Probably the cheapest niger seeds on the market. I ordered 50 kg. They came in two big bags which each contained two smaller bags. All the bags were strong and withstood the manhandling in transit with no problem. The fact of having 4 smaller bags of 12.5kg each means handling and storage is easy. I would recommend it.

Beatrice commented on 2015-02-12 11:35:00 and rated Niger Seed 25.2 kg as "Very Good"

The Niger seed came in two 25 kilo sacs. Each sac contained two smaller sacs which made handling the product easy. Well packed.

The quality of the seed is excellent and more or less dust free which is not the case with some competitors which are all more expensive.

My 200+ goldfinches love it and I cannot recommend it too highly.

I have about 400 goldfinches to feed on nine huge pole feeders. They get through kilos of seed every day. Most websites that sell nyger seed are exceedingly expensive sometimes at nearly double the price. The quality of niger seed from Twootz is excellent. As good as their more pricey competitors. Highly recommend the firm.
