The finch feeder blend that outperforms plain Nyjer®.
If you've been feeding straight Nyjer® and wondering why you're not seeing more variety, Fancy Finch Mix is the answer. Built around the seeds finches reach for first, this premium blend goes beyond basic thistle to attract not just goldfinches, but Purple Finches, redpolls, siskins, buntings, towhees, and tanagers. The seeds are tiny enough to fit through the small ports of any Nyjer® tube or sock feeder, so no equipment changes needed, just better results.
What's in the blend.
Four carefully chosen ingredients, each earning its place: Nyjer® seed for goldfinches and siskins, sunflower heart chips for the energy-seekers, canary seed for a hard-to-find premium touch, and millet to round out the mix for a wider variety of small birds. No filler, no milo, nothing that gets flicked aside.
- Nyjer® seed — the #1 draw for goldfinches and pine siskins
- Sunflower heart chips — high-energy, hulled, no shells
- Canary seed — premium ingredient, hard to find elsewhere
- White millet — attracts a wider range of small finch species
- No filler ingredients — every seed is bird-preferred
- Tiny seeds fit standard Nyjer® tube and sock feeders
- 5 lb resealable bag — available exclusively at Duncraft
Birds attracted: American Goldfinches, Lesser Goldfinches, Purple Finches, House Finches, Common Redpolls, Pine Siskins, Indigo Buntings, Eastern Towhees, and Scarlet Tanagers.
How to feed: Serve in any Nyjer® tube feeder, sock feeder, or fine-mesh feeder. The small seed size flows well through standard Nyjer® ports. For the best results, keep the feeder full and in a consistent location finches are creatures of habit and return reliably once they find a trusted food source.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Fancy Finch Mix and plain Nyjer® seed?
Plain Nyjer® seed attracts goldfinches and siskins effectively, but Fancy Finch Mix goes further by adding sunflower heart chips, canary seed, and millet. This broader ingredient list attracts a wider variety of finch species including Purple Finches, redpolls, buntings, towhees, and tanagers — that plain Nyjer® alone may not draw in.
Can I use Fancy Finch Mix in my existing Nyjer® feeder?
Yes. The seeds in Fancy Finch Mix are sized to fit through the small ports of standard Nyjer® tube feeders and sock feeders. No special equipment is needed, just fill your existing finch feeder with Fancy Finch Mix instead of plain Nyjer®.
What finches does Fancy Finch Mix attract?
Fancy Finch Mix is designed to attract American Goldfinches, Lesser Goldfinches, Purple Finches, House Finches, Common Redpolls, and Pine Siskins. The canary seed and millet also draw in buntings, towhees, and tanagers that are less commonly seen at standard finch feeders.
Is Fancy Finch Mix a no-waste seed?
Yes. Every ingredient in Fancy Finch Mix is a premium seed that finches and small songbirds actively seek out. There are no filler grains like milo or wheat that birds discard. The hulled sunflower heart chips also mean no shell debris under your feeder.
How often should I refill my finch feeder?
Nyjer®-based blends can go stale faster than sunflower seed, especially in humid conditions. Check your feeder every 1–2 weeks and replace seed that appears clumped, discolored, or has an off smell. Finches will avoid stale seed, so freshness is key to keeping them coming back consistently.
