Cole's NI05 Wild Bird Food, Straight, Seed, 5 lb Bag

Niger seed, often mistakenly called thistle seed, is a favorite of beautiful wild finches like the American goldfinch. Imported from Africa and sterilized upon entry to prevent germination, this special seed is a great source of energy due to its high-oil content. When served straight, it is used in a specifically designed tubular feeder, like the nifty Niger feeder or thistle sock with small holes where it can be economically dispensed. Niger seed can be also be mixed with sunflower chips or hearts.
