Along the lines of the recent inquiry on sunflower seed, does anyone have a good source (preferably local but could be online) or at least some helpful guidance on choosing nyjer seed? I always feel uncertain about purchasing it after I learned some time ago that it often dries out or is moldy, even while still on shelf.
