Henry Bell Essentials Nyger Seed Feeder Nyger is the one seed that defeats an ordinary tube feeder — the grains are fine enough to run straight out of a standard port and end up on the ground. This feeder, product code H040013 in Henry Bell's Essentials range, has ports cut narrow for it, and holds 220g in a tube 20cm high. Nyger is what brings goldfinches, siskins and redpolls into a garden, and they will work a feeder like this for long spells rather than snatching and leaving. At 20cm it is short enough to hang under a feeding station arm without fouling the tray below. Performance & Benefits Holds 220g of nyger seed, enough to keep a small group of goldfinches going for several days. Ports are sized for nyger, so the seed stays in the tube instead of spilling underneath. 20cm high, which suits small gardens and fits neatly under a feeding station arm. Hanger loop takes a branch, a wall bracket or a station arm. Henry Bell product code H040013, from the Essentials range. Suitable For Goldfinches, siskins and redpolls, the birds that actually take nyger in a British garden. Gardens where a standard seed feeder wastes too much fine seed on the ground. Hanging from a tree, a bracket or a feeding station. Nyger seed only — peanuts, fat balls and mixed seed need the Henry Bell Essentials Peanut Feeder or Fat Ball Feeder instead. How to Use Lift the top off, fill with nyger to just below the highest ports, and refit the top. Hang it where you can watch it, near cover but clear of anywhere a cat can spring from. Keep fresh water available nearby; Henry Bell ask for this alongside all their bird foods. Empty, wash and dry the tube before each refill — nyger takes up moisture and cakes solid at the base.
