Nyjer seed does not have a shell like sunflowers. Wild birds eat all of the nyjer seed.
yes because they have seeds in them and they are bad for them.
To attract finches to your backyard using nyjer thistle, the best way is to place a finch feeder filled with nyjer thistle seeds in a visible and accessible location. Finches are attracted to the small seeds and will be drawn to the feeder for food. Make sure to keep the feeder clean and refill it regularly to keep the finches coming back.
Birds may not be eating nyjer seed because they are not familiar with it or it may not be their preferred food. Additionally, some birds may have difficulty accessing the small seeds due to the size of their beaks.
Nesting birds eat all different kinds of food. They will eat sunflower seeds, cracked corn, millet, suet cakes, and nyjer seeds.
Short answer: Yes, the seed hulls are similar as they are both "asters".Nyjer and sunflower seeds are popular bird attractors at the winter feeding station. Both seeds have an edible oil, though it is the sunflower that became a production crop in the U.S. Actually "niger" or "nyjer" (Guizotia abyssinica) is a close relative of the sunflower, as they are both from the Asteraceae (Aster) family (nyjer not a thistle -that was a marketing ploy by birdseed producers, believe it or not!). The Aster family has a specialized fruit covering called a "cypsela". If you look at the nyjer seed very closely with a magnifying glass, you can see how similar it is to the sunflower, especially the black oil sunflower seed.
Seeds, any kind of wild seed will do, but greatly prefer sunflower and thisle seeds.
Different types of seeds that feed birds in the wild include sunflower seeds, nyjer seeds, millet, and safflower seeds. Each type of seed attracts different species of birds based on their preferences and dietary needs.
Nyjer seed and thistle seed are actually the same thing, both referring to the seeds of the African yellow daisy plant. These seeds are small and high in oil content, making them a favorite among finches and other small birds. So, both nyjer seed and thistle seed are beneficial for attracting specific bird species like finches to your garden.
