Shafer Nyjer Seed

Invite more goldfinches to your yard with Nyjer seed that packs rich energy into every tiny seed. Feed Shafer Nyjer Seed to keep small songbirds active, vibrant, and coming back—without the chaos of larger birds taking over the feeder. Count on the handy 5 lb bag to stay fresh and easy to carry for quick refills.

Key Features

• Finch favorite: Attract American Goldfinches, Pine Siskins, redpolls, and other small finches.
• High-energy nutrition: Oil-rich seeds support year-round activity, molting, and cold-weather needs.
• Cleaner feeding: Use in finch tubes or sock feeders to limit larger birds and reduce spilled mix.
• Less sprouting under feeders: Nyjer is heat-treated during import, so it’s unlikely to germinate.
• Easy to manage: The 5 lb size carries easily, stores neatly, and helps keep seed fresh.

Applications

Fill a finch tube or mesh sock feeder and hang near shrubs or trees for quick cover. Refresh seed regularly—Nyjer is small and can dry out over time, so offer modest refills and top off as birds visit. Keep feeders dry and give them a quick shake after rain to prevent clumping.
