Adventure in Your Backyard

Feeding and watching wild birds offers an outdoor adventure and colorful sights without leaving home. Whether you’re new to the hobby or experienced, trust Kaytee Products to have the finest ingredients and a genuine love of birds that shows.

Feed Birds Year-Round

Kaytee Wild Bird Foods offer a year-round source of energy and nutrition for wild birds. Consistently filled feeders helps keep birds fed—especially during times when food is scarce—and your backyard exciting through all seasons.

Provide a Fresh Source of Water

In addition to providing food year-round, always provide a fresh source of water. Wild birds use water for drinking and to clean their feathers, so they may visit more often and stay longer. Running water works best, so birds can hear it.

For the Love of Birds

Every time you fill your feeder, you’re not just offering food—you’re creating a connection to the beauty of nature. As birds feed and are filled with energy, you can experience the joy of knowing you’re helping them thrive.

About Kaytee

Formulated by birding enthusiasts, Kaytee Wild Bird Food makes high quality feed for your birds. It provides a great source of energy and nutrition for your feathered friends while offering you a colorful adventure in your own backyard.

They love it!

I think this is the best of the Nyjer seed out there. I have bought others that the finches' won't eat but they all crowd around and devour this one.

Not enjoyed by Bay Area finches & chickadees

They leaves the nyjer seed in the feeder, much preferring Kaytee's black sunflower seeds.

Left in the middle of steep driveway so I couldn't carry it down. (I'm an older lady) instructions say leave it at bottom by garage.

Great For Finches & Sparrows!

I love to watch birds in my backyard. And, I have several feeders -- including one specifically for Nyjer seed. Buying good quality seed can be difficult, but Chewy has made it easy. This Katee Nyjer Seed is fresh and the price is great. Plus, Chewy delivers it right to my door. If you want to attract house sparrows and various types of finches -- including the bright yellow Goldfinch, this seed is a must! I highly recommend you buy it from Chewy for the price and convenience.

Seed is attractive to the birds

This seed is a replacement for another brand that the Lesser Goldfinch would not eat. They will shun nyjer thistle that is too old, so the replacement seed is fresh

This seed is a replacement for another brand that the Lesser Goldfinch would not eat. They will shun nyjer thistle that is too old, so the replacement seed is fresh. All brands should include a 'Best By' date on their seed products to protect consumers.

High quality thistle nyjer seed for the American Gold Finches

This is on the costly side, as is all nyjer thistle seed, but this is a very high quality seed by KayTee. I will definitely buy this again as it had no other contents in the bag other than the seed. Sometimes, you will get things like twigs or other parts of the flower that was harvested, but not with this KayTee brand.
