Best Nyjer seed bird feeders

Vital component of a Nyjer bird feeder is it being accessible to most birds who wish to feed on the Nyjer seeds, of which there must be all kinds of way to safely perch.

Best Nyjer seed bird feeders will allow birds to perch or cling on the wire mesh, whilst being fully disassembled as to give it a proper clean to remove stubborn Nyjer seed oil within the interior. Made to hang only with a high seed capacity that doesn't have to be used, but a colorful feeder can attract birds.

As it happens, what could be the best Nyjer seed feeder could in fact be any kind of feeder that is made to hold this small black oily seed.

I haven't featured any Nyjer seed feeder randomly I can assure you, as I know the best Nyjer feeders are ones that are made with a metal wire mesh tube - rather than the kind of feeders that are made in a clear plastic tube.

With that is a set or several perches which would be situated near to where backyard birds perch, to awkwardly feed out of the port wells.

Never use this kind of Nyjer seed bird feeders because they can restrict far too many wild birds who wish to eat the Nyjer - in what could be an obstructed feeder already.

What kind of feeders do finches like are the wire mesh bird feeder to which they can cling on to anywhere around the exterior.

Whereby larger birds such as Cardinals like Nyjer seeds but can struggle to fit on a seed feeder of this kind.

To be sure you can attract as many finches and other birds to your feeder as possible, you'd need to situate your Nyjer feeder for finches within a tree as first choice - while reverting to a bird feeder pole if you have no other choice.

If you wish to understand what a finch feeder looks like, then my featured feeders will sure give you some indication of the types of finch feeders that exist on the market.

Never use to full capacity

Whilst half of the best featured Nyjer seed bird feeders I listed for you below have a low to medium capacity - the other half rates the feeders as large heavy-duty seed feeders.

I have to say though just because the seed feeder you decided to go for can hold a ton of Nyjer seeds, this certainly isn't a recommendation to fill the bird feeder mesh tube up to full capacity.

For one thing a full to the brim Nyjer feeder can evidently cause the feeder to warp or lose its shape somehow.

Not a sign of a poor bird feeder I can assure you, its just what happens when too many seeds are used which are commonly compacted, or pressed into the feeder to make them fit.

What you must do is only use up to one or two pounds worth of Nyjer seeds if you are just getting started. Only then do you increase the amount of seeds in the feeder - based on an increase of birds who eat them all up.

Hang it on branch or bracket

Why go through the bother of buying what is one of the best Nyjer seed bird feeders when you can't attract birds to your feeder in the first place.

Its vital then you maximize your Nyjer seed feeder exposure by situating it off a bird feeder pole.

Bracket on pole must allow distance between other bird feeders, as a rather big Nyjer seed could cause issues for birds. With that, you'd want to be sure the brightly colored or bland feeder is visible to finches, plus other birds passing over.

Best place to hang what is a finch feeder in most cases would be to hang it up among the branches, but if you don't have a tree, success will still come.

Remember, even the best seed feeders won't be used if they remain hidden in a leafy, unused tree or a bird feeder pole kept out of sight.

Easy to re-fill

What comes easy with my very best Nyjer seed bird feeder selection, is how easy they are to open up to access the interior.

Why that is important of course is because you'd need to twist or pop open the lid to replenish with brand new Nyjer seeds.

However what is more important than all that is an accessible seed feeder that holds a high level of oil content - of which is sure to stain or cause the feeder interior to become quite the mess.

What other choice do you have then to clean what could be a finch feeder by opening it up, before completely disassembling it to maintain.

As the point of which a nyjer seed feeder is hung, a metal ring will be mounted on the very top tip of the feeder - whereas the lid can be mostly twisted off.

Indeed it does appear to look like any Nyjer seed feeder, but your notice the wide top which acts as a bit of rain cover - and is finished in yellow as I said.

However, a finch feeder doesn't need to be yellow to attract finches, but a bright color feeder sure can successfully attract birds by a standout color.

Imagine this yellow top and bottom end hanging among a tree or shrub, as the yellow will sure to be seen by wild birds.

With an easy screw off lid, the bottom bird seed tray will catch spillages with an option to add additional seeds which finches and other birds like. And with all that, you can divide this long feeder into smaller sections to keep birds apart.

At the bottom is now a copper base but without the bird seed tray this time.

Can't go wrong with what is the largest Nyjer seed feeder featured on my best of list thus far, it can be considered for a yard that receives an abundance of Nyjer seed-eating birds.

Never mind if you don't or indeed birds gradually stop using it, as the two sections mounted to the widest area within the feeder can allow you to still add seeds - but at two levels as its divided - rather than just allowing Nyjer seed to pile up at the bottom.

Idea behind that is to allow as many birds to feed at the same time to prevent them getting in the way of each other.

Twist open lid to replenish with seeds yet the wide cover can act as a little shelter.

Wide base on the bottom will then act as a bird seed tray which birds will use to perch to feed - where seeds would of made their way on the outside.

Kaytee - Nyjer seed Finch Sock feeder

Super cheap to buy on Amazon US but must be compared at Walmart and Toolbox Supply, respectively.

What can be easier to manage than a simple soft fabric Finch Sock, in which you'd hang up in a tree to benefit tree dwelling birds, just like finches in the wild.

With a set of two Finch Socks, how you'd use these socks would be just as you operate any seed feeder - which means they can still be hung up on a bird feeder pole if you can keep them a safe distance off the ground.

Treat Finch Socks with care still as the fabric can still manage to snag on a branch.

How to open them up to replenish with Nyjer seed is just like how you will open a marble bag, in which the seeds are secured with an elastic band threaded into the sock.

Liked most by American Goldfinches yet will be used by other finches if seen in a tree or if you like - it can hung off a smaller twig within a shrub or bush.

Nature's Rhythm - Double Nyjer seed feeder

Better price on Amazon US but Walmart can be a back up.

Now we are going super big with this enormous double Nyjer seed bird feeder which can take up a lot of room.

Why you would utilize a large seed feeder would be because you have an abundance of birds in your yard, likely to make the most of all Nyjer seeds you plan to fill it up with.

With that being said, you can only use one seed chamber if you must to avoid waste; while doubling how much seeds are used by filling up the second chamber if birds are rapidly eating up the seeds.

Unscrew the metal ring on top to remove the lid completely, which is also a wide roof to provide some shelter.

On the bottom interior the slope will encourage seeds to flow to the ports, or gaps - in which there are three of them.

Birds have three ways to eat off this feeder, like perching on one of six perches - while also perching on the bird seed tray - along with an option to cling onto the metal wire mesh in which birds can pull Nyjer seeds through.
