The go-to seed for finch enthusiasts & upside down feeders!

Meadow Ridge Farms Nyjer® is a favorite of finches and other smaller birds with tiny, pointed bills that can crack these tiny shells and extract the rich seeds. Nyjer® seeds are high in oil and are a great source of energy for finches and other small backyard birds, especially in winter months. 

Nyjer® is a thin, small black seed from the African yellow daisy, and although it is not actually related to the thistle plant or thistle weeds, it is often referred to as "thistle seed."  However, our Nyjer® seeds are sterilized to prevent them from sprouting or growing in your yard or garden. 

Nyjer®-loving birds are sometimes referred to as 'clinging birds' because they are many times seen acrobatically clinging to the sides of feeders instead of perching while feeding. You'll even see them eating upside down on occasion!

Nyjer® seeds (AKA thistle seeds) are very small and are best used in the following feeder types: small-hole tube feeders, thistle feeders, Nyjer® feeders, mesh feeders, and thistle sacks/socks.

All our bird seed is made with the freshest and highest quality ingredients. Our mixes are blended and bagged daily at our historic mill in Delano, Minnesota.
