Does anyone know where to find LIVE NYJER SEED ?
I'm looking for some to sprout. I would like to make up a mix like the black mix that BIRDS R US use to carry.
Sally do you know of any sources?

josh1810 Unfortunately, I don't. Fabulous Finch was the only source that I know of for LIVE nyjer seed. What is sold in the U.S. is imported and by law must be heat treated. It's a shame that we can't get live seed any more.
