Avigrain Niger Seed 25kg – High-Energy Bird Seed for Finches & Canaries

High-Energy Niger Seed That Finches and Canaries Love

Avigrain Niger Seed is a high-oil, high-protein bird seed that finches, canaries and many wild birds find hard to resist. Also known as nyjer, this small black seed is a favourite for its energy content, helping keep birds active, healthy and in good condition. This is the bulk 25kg bag, ideal for breeders, aviaries and anyone feeding a number of birds regularly.

Why Birds Love Niger Seed

Niger seed is prized for its rich oil and protein content, which makes it a genuine energy food for small seed-eating birds. Finches and canaries in particular take to it readily, and it is a popular addition to aviary diets and wild bird feeders alike. Because birds find it so attractive, it is also a great way to draw finches and other small birds to a feeder.

A Quality Single Seed in Bulk

Rather than a mixed blend, this is a straight niger seed, so you can feed it on its own or use it to top up and enrich a seed mix. The large 25kg bag is economical for regular feeding, breeding setups and busy aviaries, giving you a good supply of a quality energy seed on hand.

Feeding and Storage

Niger seed works well fed on its own or alongside other seeds such as sunflower, in a suitable finch feeder or seed dish. Always provide fresh, clean water alongside the seed, and offer variety through other seeds, greens and vegetables for a balanced diet. Store the seed in a cool, dry place, sealed to keep it fresh and to protect it from moisture and pests.
