Default Niger feeder recommendation

Having read recommendations to use Niger seed I have just bought some.

The seed is so fine I doubt it will stay in my cheap and cheerful vertical
plastic tube.

I can see specialist Niger feeders on line.

Any recommendations?

Cheers

Good luck with your Niger/Nyger seed feeder I haven't seen a single finch
on mine - total waste of money.

I also bought some niger seed, filled the feeder and waited..........
After a week the feeder was still full.
I emptied the seed out into a bag to give to a friend who does have
finches and refilled the tube with seed mix.
I looked up niger seed to see what it would grow into and it is a
boring coltsfoot/dandelion-looking type of flower. I wasted my money!
