Kaytee Nyjer Wild Bird Food Seed, 3 Pound

Have a metal finch feeder. Was buying fancy Nyjer with crushed sunflower from a bird shop for a higher price point that the finches only ate the Nyjer seeds! For a city person this is a great price. There is always a passel of birds (13 on one feeder is the record), even went and got a second feeder. Thought I was going to go through 5 pounds in two months - nope... I'm now every month and even that is cutting it close. Very hungry, happy little birdies :)

This is wonderful thistle seed food. Not much extras in th

It's great and the Finches love it.

Took a while to get here but it arrived. Nice nyjer seed to either feed separately or mix in with your regular wild bird seed. The mourning doves love nyjer seed, as do the other smaller birds. I will order the Kaytee Nyjer seed again.

All the varieties of Finches love this seed! I have 3 different style feeders, each with different seed and this one is always empty first! I’ve seen up to six finches both perched on the tray and hanging on the mesh eating this seed! Will order again! Just be aware when taking out of the Amazon box as the bag had a small split on arrival which I patched with tape, then opened top and poured in a big jar for use. Took away one star only for cut in bag on arrival.

Easy to hang, functional and the birds love it during the winter! Warning: they like it so much, the well filled socks only last a week! LOL! As a bonus, the squirrels seem to ignore the seed.

Great quality seed. Clean appearance, very little visible debris, if any. It attracts a lot of small birds like the reddish purple house finches, gold finches, chickadees, etc... so it's doing what it was intended to do. The eight pound bag seems to be a good size, lasting a while but not so long as to spoil so I'd call it a good value.

Pros: The finches love it. House finches, goldfinches. Invasive european starlings don't touch it. Last Spring, I reported seeing Ruby Crowned Kinglets, but I think they were just female goldfinches [roll eyes]. Getting smart, I quickly switched from purchasing prefilled thistle socks to getting bags of thistle and socks separately. Procedure only requires a funnel. This is my first BIG bag of thistle, which was placed in a carton with a couple of other items, but included no packing material to fill the empty spaces and absorb shock. So the bag popped open during shipment. During shipment, someone felt the need to wrap additional clear packing tape over most of the box; apparently someone noticed unidentifiable contents leaking out. I hope Kaytee won't be penalized for Amazon's poor shipping.
