Highlighted Reviews

— Mary

"It is difficult to find Thistle for our summer birds and Chewy makes a quality product easily attainable"

— CV8

"I specifically bought this product because it claims its only ingredient is Nyjer seeds; this is NOT the case. It is full of fillers like huge corn kernels and other things that finches will not eat."

Bottom Line

A good choice for most birds, but finch owners should be cautious and check the ingredient list carefully.
