Product Description

Cashmans thistle seed, also known as Nyjer, is the preferred feed for goldfinches, pine siskins, redpolls, and other small finch species that flock to specialized tube and sock feeders. This Nyjer seed is a tiny, oil-rich seed that small finches extract quickly from mesh finch feeders, creating the active, busy feeders that bird enthusiasts enjoy most. Finch seed like thistle is one of the most reliable ways to attract American Goldfinches in their bright yellow summer plumage as well as the winter flocks that linger into cold weather. A 10-pound bag of thistle seed is the right size for one or two dedicated finch feeders.

Nyjer seed requires a specialized feeder with small ports or a mesh sock feeder that allows small finch beaks to extract the seed without excessive waste. This finch seed is best stored in a cool, dry location and used within a few months of purchase since the natural oils can diminish over time. Goldfinches and siskins will reliably return to feeders stocked with fresh thistle seed throughout the year, making a dedicated finch feeder a worthwhile investment. Pick up your 10-pound bag of Nyjer seed at Cashmans in Delaware, Ohio.
