Nyjer Thistle Seed

We love finches. And we’ve learned a lot about what they love, too. For instance, did you know that goldfinches can tell the difference between fresh seed and seed that has been dried out due to exposure or age? (We’ve learned this the hard way!) That’s why every bag of our Premium Unblended Nyjer Thistle Seed is fully resealable and packed fresh, ensuring that even the pickiest of eaters will be satisfied. If you’re looking to attract more of that brilliant yellow to your feeder, look no further! We’ve packed this bag especially for you.​​

Safflower Seeds

Bird species that regularly feed on safflower seeds include:
Black-capped chickadees, Black-headed grosbeaks, Blue jays, Carolina chickadees, Downy woodpeckers, Evening grosbeaks, House finches, Indigo buntings, Mourning doves, Northern cardinals, Purple finches, Red-bellied woodpeckers, Rose-breasted grosbeaks, Tufted titmice, 
​White-breasted nuthatches
Other bird species may also sample safflower seeds if they are available, but the best feature of these seeds is not the birds that eat them, but the birds that won't. Safflower seeds have a bitter flavor and a different shape than other types of birdseed, and grackles, blackbirds, and European starlings will typically leave these seeds alone. This makes safflower an ideal addition to feeding stations where these "bully birds" might dominate feeders. Many squirrels will also avoid safflower seed and will not disturb feeders where safflower is offered, though chipmunks have been known to prefer the seed. Baffles and other steps to squirrel-proof a bird feeder are still wise precautions to prevent pests from taking advantage of the feeders.​
