Niger Seed

Niger seed is a compact, oil rich seed that small and colourful birds love. Often called nyjer, nijer, thistle seed or even “those tiny bird seeds”, niger seed originates from Ethiopia and comes from the herb guizotia abyssinica. Because of its tiny size, it’s always a good idea to use a niger seed feeder. Check out our bird food storage guide to find out how to make your seed last for longer.
