    Nyjer/Niger Seed and waste

    Niger seed is imported to the US from, among other countries, Nigeria. No PC or legal implications in that.

    Nyjer/Niger Seed and waste

    Y'know, I'm starting to think I should make a "suet" cake out of just niger seed. "Glue" it together with something other than fat so it would withstand the increasingly warmer weather as spring arrives. Wonder if that would eliminate so much wastage. Niger is so expensive, I just hate seeing...

    Nyjer/Niger Seed and waste

    Thanks, Buhlbird! I've noticed since offering more sunflower hearts than the black-oil seeds in shells, the feeders are going down more quickly. LOL! I haven't been able to get to town to get a sock feeder yet but hopefully can this weekend.

    Would sock feeders for the niger seed solve the problem? I believe the birds can only get a seed or so at a time, not beaksful. (I haven't used the sock feeder yet but plan to convert from a gravity feeder for the reasons already mentioned.)
