The colour is more useful than it looks: when you are rotating several feeders through the wash, being able to tell them apart at a glance saves a certain amount of muttering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNyjer is a specialist seed — tiny, oily and expensive — and the birds it brings in are goldfinches, siskins and redpolls rather than the general crowd. A feeder with ports cut for nyjer is the only way to serve it without losing most of it on the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder-coated steel lid and base, considerably more robust than a plain plastic tube.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick-release base, so the feeder opens out and can be washed properly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge stainless steel handle, easy to hook on and off in gloves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePorts sized for nyjer seed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurple finish, easy to pick out among several feeders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoldfinches, siskins and redpolls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGardens already running a seed or fat feeder and wanting to add finches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging from a feeding station, a wall bracket or a branch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeepers who want a steel feeder without the price of stainless.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNyjer only.
