Fill your Finch feeder with Wagner’s Nyjer Seed and enjoy the antics of these beautiful and sociable birds in your backyard. Trust your backyard birds to the experts at Wagner’s.

Review: Good Quality, the Finches Love It - Very good quality and decent price. Finches love this seed. Doves don't eat it. I placed mine in an open bowl and a big mess of them scattering around. It needs to be in a feeder more controlled so it does not scatter. I use White Proso Millet and Sunflower Kernels Medium Grind (broken and shelled) so the doves and finches can eat them easily. Whole sunflower seed even when shelled are too large for small birds, so get the medium grind instead. I use a large wood tray on the fence. I place two poultry chick feeders on it, filled with White Proso Millet topped with sunflower kernels. The birds have to stick their heads in to eat, preventing fighting and scratching and scattering of food. Then I place some Nyjer seed in a bowl in the middle so finches can gather and eat. The tray catches any mess that is cleared up by birds in the morning before I put out the seeds again. This system works well. However, finches like to eat in a group an and are intimidated by doves. Having a finch hanging feeder for Nyjer will keep away doves and focus on Finches only. A better solution. I never use squirrel guards. They are cruel and only make squirrels angry and frustrated. Instead, I have 2 squirrel feed trays attached to fence. Each one has a bowl of sunflower kernels and a bowl of nuts - walnuts, almonds, peanuts. Now the squirrels don't attack each other or birds to get at the food and birds can eat in peace. Harmony. Putting out food creates aggression, agitation, competition for resources in wildlife. You have to manage it to get balance and peace and no wastage of the food. Giving doves a platform - they love it. Giving squirrels their own bowls, they leave birds alone, do not bully them, and don't overturn bird feeders. Giving finches a separate feeding space means they can gather with their own kind and not be bullied by doves or squirrels.
Review: Birds love it! - This brand is well-known in the bird seed world. This is a good quality product for a reasonable price. The birds love it. I highly recommend this and will be purchasing git again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how long is the seed good to put out?**
A: To be honest our goldfinches have been consuming these seeds at such a high rate, that the issue of how long they are good for has never been a concern. We have used the entire bag in less than a month

**Q: How long can you keep the Niger seed out before it starts to go stale**
A: It does not go stale as far as I can tell...the birds love Wagner seeds and do not like other seeds as well. I just keep filling the feeder until it is used up. I ordered the 20lb bag of Wagners Nyjer seed and mix it with other Wagner seed (Southern Blend).

**Q: Would this seed be appropriate for the northwest, west of the cascades (washington state)? the bird chart seems made for other parts of n.america...**
A: Absolutely, Nyjer Seed is a favorite of the American Goldfinch, which incidentally is the State bird of Washington.

**Q: Is this seed good for human consumption? Niger seeds are popular delicacy in South India.**
A: I would think so., although the label does not state that it can be consumed by humans.  They look and smell good. Very little stem/ trash . Just nice seeds. The birds love them.

*by H***A on October 8, 2025*

Always great, clean, nyjer seed - no fillers or debris mixed in. I use it in my feed mix for pigeons, doves, and blue jays, and they all love it. The Velcro-style seal is awesome: super convenient and very thoughtful.
