Nyjer feeder

Placement

Give birds a safe approach.

Hang in an open, visible spot; a tray beneath can reduce scattered seed.

Tradeoffs

Very targeted and low-waste when fresh, but nyjer loses appeal as it ages.

Maintenance

Make clean easy.

Replace stale seed, clear clogged ports, and keep the feeder dry.

If birds appear sick, pause feeding and follow current local wildlife guidance.
