Feeding & Storage Tips
- Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place to keep it fresh and pest-free. Shelled seed spoils faster than seed in the shell.
- Fine chips clump when wet; use a feeder with a weather dome or drainage.
- In hot, humid weather, put out only what your birds finish in a day or two.
- In eastern Nebraska, goldfinches stay all winter, so keep a finch feeder up year-round.
FAQ
Will it fit my Nyjer feeder?
Yes. The fine chips are sized to flow through small finch-feeder ports.
Will it sprout under my feeder?
Very little. The chips are hulled, so there are no shells and little to sprout.
Fine or Nyjer & Hearts?
Fine hearts are 100% sunflower; Nyjer & Hearts mixes them 50/50 with Nyjer for finches.
How long does it stay fresh?
Kept sealed, cool and dry, it stays fresh for weeks. In summer heat, offer smaller amounts more often.
Tip: Feeding finches? Mix it with Nyjer or try our ready-made Nyjer & Hearts.
