This oil rich seed comes from the Ramtil plant, native to Ethiopia and is often used as a tonic food for cagebirds. The seed has proved popular with Goldfinch, Siskin and Redpoll and can help attract these species to your garden. The seed is particularly fine – too fine for a standard seed feeder – and should be fed from one of our specialist Nyjer feeders designed with smaller gauge feeding ports than standard seed feeders to minimise the amount of food that is lost from the feeder.
