Kaytee Nyjer seed is the premier seed for attracting finches, buntings, siskins and a variety of other small songbirds. These small songbirds have smaller beaks so Nyjer's bite-size and high oil content make it a healthy choice for them. It's also fully edible, meaning you won't need to clean up spilled, uneaten seeds from your deck or patio.

Niger seed, often mistakenly called thistle seed, is a favorite of beautiful wild finches like the American Goldfinch. Imported from Africa and sterilized upon entry to prevent germination. When served straight, it is best used in a specifically designed tubular feeder, like the nifty niger feeder or “thistle sock” with small holes where it can be economically dispensed.

Kaytee Ultra Wild Finch Blend is a mix of four select ingredients designed to attract more finches than just feeding a standard seed blend or plain nyjer seed. Using seed color, along with taste, is a novel idea that originated with Kaytee. Birds identify their food with their sense of sight. Kaytee has applied this knowledge of visual attraction to the development of this special seed blend. And it works.

A play in three acts by Joseph A. Walker.

Mamman Sani Abdoulaye, a legendary name amongst Niger's avant garde, presents a singularly unique recording of minimalist organ music from the Sahara. Dreamy and hypnotic, the sound is unlike anything coming out of West Africa before or since, closer in effect to early electronic experiments of Kraftwerk. Mamman composes in technique that can only be called minimal, relying on the simplicity and space. It is a remarkable manipulation of sound that uses the silence to invoke the emptiness, a meta

Excerpt from From the Congo to the Niger and the Nile, Vol. 1: An Account of the German Central African Expedition of 1910-1911As is so often the case, some of the details of our itinerary had to be subsequently altered. We decided to proceed together as far as the Congo River. Drs Schultze and Mildbraed were then to set out by them selves ou a geographical, botanical, and zoological expedition through the unexplored parts of South Cameroons. This, moreover, was the express desire of the Dahlem Botanical Museum authorities. It was settled that the main party should proceed up the Congo and Ubangi Rivers, and spend some time in the wholly unexplored country on the banks of the Ubangi, in the neighbourhood of Libenge. Thence we were to explore the basins of the Gribingi and Shari Rivers, and finally to push on to Lake Tchad, and spend several months in Bagirmi. Since the time of the earliest pioneers, only the most meagre details have come to light respecting the fauna, flora, and population, and the influence of Islam on the religion and life of the natives of these parts.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Two of the most interesting countries in Africa are Nigeria, the economic powerhouse of the continent, and Niger, strategically located at the intersection of the two great ideological conflicts of our time modernism and traditionalism. This is a combination map, with two separate maps sharing the same sheet of paper at different scales. It has a double-sided cover and can be displayed in retail stores with either cover outwards Nigeria fills one side, showing major cities with a double circle and bold lettering, motorway-like roads in purple, and main roads in green or red. Nigeria is Africa s most populous country. A former British colony, the independent country has finally settled down after years of controversial rule by a series of dictators. The highlights of the country are its national parks Yankari, Gashaka Gumti, Old Oya, and Osun Osogbo. Inset maps of Lagos, and Abuja are included. Niger is a country caught in the crosshairs of the great conflict of our times between the idea of modernism and the resurgence of a brand of militant Islam. For this reason, it is of great interest to the major powers. France has built a significant military base near Agadez and now the Americans are building a massive base immediately adjacent. The south of the country contains the most touristically significant aspects of Niger. The Grand Mosque in Niamey is the largest in the country. The international animal preserve known in Niger as W-Arly-Pendjari straddles the border with both Benin and Burkina Faso to create a unique wildlife heritage enclave. Unfortunately, the Hoggar route across the Sahara from Algeria to Agadez is closed at the moment, but the roads are shown. This is an important map for adventure travel.

Excerpt from From the Congo to the Niger and the Nile, Vol. 2: An Account of the German Central African Expedition of 1910-1911They were in a great panic, probably not so much from any special affection for me, but rather because they feared that without me they would never reach their distant homes in Togo and the Cameroons. A litter was brought, and at a funeral pace we followed the bearers to camp, which was fortunately not far off, in a tiny Sara hamlet composed of only seven huts. The chief was a gigantic man with a good humoured face, and he seemed disposed to be friendly. He brought me some fresh milk and a couple of eggs, and by the evening I felt well enough to sit in a deck chair in front of my tent.My bearers had once more taken French leave, and the chief declared that he could supply only seven men, whereas I required at least twenty-five. I was exceedingly angry. Not with the natives for refusing to act as carriers; one could hardly blame them, seeing that the money they earn is of very little use to them; neither did I resent Captain Cross' action in sending me without a military escort, for he did not realise the conditions prevailing here, and could have no idea of the difficulties I was to encounter. But I felt embittered against the red tapists who sit in their comfortable offices and preach humanity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

'Eden in Sumer on the Niger' is the last of the African Renaissance Series, following the bestseller 'They Lived Before Adam.' Here, Acholonu, painstakingly, provides consistent and conclusive evidence that Sumer was a civilization which grew out of the Edenic beginnings of the mother-pot of human civilization; from the same environment that put forth the 'Out of Africa' Migrations, that have consistently populated the world and given to fledgling mankind culture, language, the rubrics of a writing system developed originally on stone and in caves, basic technology, religion and astronomy. Through this book, Acholonu demonstrates that the story of Evolution is the story of the African continent, a story that has to be told, and told by African themselves.
