Johnston & Jeff Niger Seed 12.75kg
Overview
Johnston & Jeff Niger Seed is a straight wild bird food made from niger seed alone. It is a simple, single-ingredient feed designed for garden birds, with a particular appeal to finches and other small seed-eating wild birds.
Niger seed comes from the niger plant, a yellow-flowered plant native to the Ethiopian Highlands and other parts of Africa. It is valued as a naturally energy-rich seed and contains fat, protein, fibre, vitamins A and C, calcium and iron.
This 12.75kg bag is the largest pack in the range, making it a practical choice for regular feeding spots, busy gardens and anyone who wants a long-lasting supply of the same pure seed.
