I've been feeding niger seed all season. Even though we have plenty of birds coming to our feeders, few birds have been visiting the niger feeders and I rarely have to refill them. The seed is some I purchased last season.
The other day I decided to purchase new niger seed. The birds are now clamoring to get to the feeder and refilling needs to happen regularly. Must be that niger seed does not age well. The benefits of aging will have to remain with things like wine.
