Extra Select Niger Seeds is a superb little seed, easily digestible and high in oils, protein and energy. It is loved by finches and tits and its favourable amino acid pattern means it is very useful when fledgings are about.
  • Not to be confused with thistle for which it is often mistaken (and often mis-sold).
  • You will need a special feeder for niger because the seeds are so light and will be blown out of the usual tubular types, but it’s certainly worth it.
  • Best fed from a feeder.

A Reliable Treat

by George West -

This is my go-to product for treating my finches. The small size ensures it's always fresh and hasn't been sitting around for months.

Slightly Clumpy Seed

by Louise Bell -

I found the seed a little clumped together, maybe due to being packed tightly in the bucket. It still flowed, but not as freely as a fresh bag.

A Quality, Clean Seed

by Karen Price -

The seed is clean and dust-free. The bucket design is very practical. I've been very happy with this smaller, convenient option.

Great Reusable Bucket

by Darren Cox -

The airtight container is a huge plus. It keeps pests out and keeps the seed in perfect condition. Top quality Niger seed inside.

Expensive for the Amount

by Alice Norton -

The quality is fine, but the quantity is too small for the price if you have many finches. I'd recommend the larger bags for better value.

The Easiest Way to Feed Finches

by Jeremy Vance -

No messy bags or storage issues. Just open the lid and refill the feeder. The Niger seed is excellent and attracts Goldfinches almost instantly.

Convenient and Fresh

by Wendy Holmes -

The seed quality is high, and the container is reusable. It's a great intermediate size. Worth the slight premium for the freshness.

Perfectly Stored Niger Seed!

by Simon West -

The bucket packaging is brilliant-it keeps the delicate Niger seed fresh and dry, and it's easy to pour. Great for smaller gardens.
