Is this from the bird seed?

Can anyone i.d. this for me please? It's popped up under the bird feeder but I've been using the same seed for years and have never seen it before in the garden, although it does look very familiar.

 

Not in my European wild flower book

 

I Grew something similar from niger seed.
Just a guess.

 

Think you'm got it Pete

Yep, that's it guys! Cheers Pete! I didn't think the bird seed had niger seed in it, but it obviously does. The ingredients are printed on the sack but the print has rubbed off and I've never looked before to see what's in it.

 

Go steady, it quite often has pot seeds in it as well

 

And by "pot seeds" Zigs means cannabis.

 

I might have meant Pot Mariglods Dai

 

Naah Zigs.lol

 

That would explain why the birds around here are always so mellow and laid back...
