RSPB Ultimate easy-clean® nyjer seed feeder with bird food (new design)

Product description

Nyjer seed bird feeding kit comprising the durable RSPB Ultimate easy-clean® nyjer seed bird feeder (small 2-port) and 5.5kg of nutritious nyjer seed for garden birds. The high quality metal Ultimate bird feeder features comfortable ring perches and improved ventilation to keep the seed fresh for longer.

The Nyjer feeder features smaller ports than regular seed feeders to ensure the tiny seeds do not flow too quickly. The nutritious seeds, rich in protein and fats, often attract finches and siskins.

• Designed for tiny, nutritious nyjer/niger seed
• Improved ring perch design for 2021 incorporating customer (and bird!) feedback (matching the popular Classic Easy-clean® ring perch)
• Extra ventilation in the feeder lid to minimise condensation and keep food fresh
• Ultimate feeder perches, lid and base are made from a powder-coated zinc alloy, around a durable, UV-stabilised polycarbonate tube that won't weaken or discolour in the sun

Feeder size guide

Ultimate vs Classic range

The green lid, base and perches of our Ultimate bird feeders are made of durable zinc alloy, making them longer-lasting and suitable for gardens with squirrels and parakeets. (If these visitors usually destroy your bird feeders, you'll find the zinc alloy parts on our Ultimate feeders resist damage from claws and teeth, so your Ultimate feeder will last much longer.) Both ranges are Easy-clean® and feature a UV-stabilised polycarbonate tube that won't weaken or discolour in the sun, and both now feature the same comfortable ring perch design.

Nyjer seed vs other seed feeders

Nyjer seed is very fine and can flow too quickly out of a non-specialised bird seed feeder, ending up on the ground or going to waste. Normal bird seed feeders are designed to allow foods such as sunflower hearts or oats to filter through to the birds waiting hungrily on the perches. The Nyjer feeders feature smaller ports to ensure the Nyjer seed does not flow too quickly. 

Popular with beautiful birds such as finches (particularly goldfinches and greenfinches) and siskins, tiny nyjer seeds are extremely nutritious and rich in oil. This provides a wonderful energy source for garden birds, helping to build fat stores and keep them warm. Nyjer seeds are also rich in protein which is essential for the re-growth of feathers throughout the year.
