Nyjer seeds are specially crafted to be fed to birds throughout the year, proving to be beneficial during winter, migration, breeding, and molting. In addition, it can also be used with specialized feeders which include tube feeders, mesh finch feeders, and sock-style feeders known to be handy for small birds.

How Nyjer Seed Benefits Backyard Birds

It is of little doubt that Nyjer seed is unparalleled when it comes to nutrition as it is packed with protein, fat, and essential oils that ensure the overall health of wild birds. The profound concentration of fat in the seeds helps birds keep warm during cold winters and maintain energy levels during long migratory flights.

It is an essential source of protein that supports feather development, molting, and muscle growth. Due to its light weight and easy digestibility, it is beneficial for smaller birds that require high-energy food with little expenditure on effort. It also promotes reproductive health by assisting in egg production and chick development during the breeding seasons. 

By providing Kaytee Nyjer Thistle Seed, songbirds have access to a nutrient-dense, easy to assimilate dietary source which keeps them healthy and active for the whole year.

Best Feeders for Nyjer Seed

Round seed feeders made for small birds offer the most agility and efficiency in feeding of these birds, minimizing waste of Nyjer seeds. Thus, they are ideal for optimal feeding.

• Tube feeders with narrow openings – Seed spillage is minimal and birds rest while feeding comfortably.

Ways To Use A Nyjer Seed Feeder And Maintain It

In feeding birds, properly refilling the feeders is important to keep the feeders well stocked. Ensure that feeders are refilled within a day or two of birds visiting the feeders in order to promote healthy birds.

Feeders should be set in an open, quiet location away from strong winds and predators for a calm and safe feeding area for birds. Feeders should be cleaned at least every two weeks with warm soapy water to control mold and bacteria.

Stored unused nyjer seeds should be kept in a cold and dry place to avoid losing freshness. Quality should also be maintained by periodically replacing older seeds with fresh ones.
