Nyger goes through a lengthy input process and is already old by the time
you see it in the store. The best approach is to purchase small amounts. By
winter's end the seed is pretty dead with close to zero appeal.

Make sure to keep it cool and dry after you buy it too, so it doesn’t get “old”
prematurely in your own cupboard. I like to transfer the contents of a
newly-opened bag into a jug with an air-tight screw cap.

I notice if I put them out late, it takes longer for them to start using them.
I also find the individual station feeders get more use that the mesh or screen
type.
I thought I overpaid for a used 8 station Droll Yankee Thistle Feeder for $10
(old style tube with aluminum perches and guards).
That happens with me also. How can I tell if I’m not buys old seed?

It is probably old seed. It doesn’t store well. Depending on where you bought
it, it could be older, even last year’s seed. We had a similar experience the
beginning of this feeder season and so I eventually bought new seed from a
different source and the goldfinches started fighting over
