Sunflower Hearts for Birds
Sunflower hearts are very good for birds, they're nutritious and a firm favourite of garden birds in the UK. They're easy for birds to eat and because the seeds have had their husks removed, the birds will eat the whole seed leaving very little mess around your feeders.
When To Feed
Sunflower Hearts can be fed to birds all year round. During spring when younger birds are feeding, you may wish to switch to Sunflower Chips which are a bit easier for the fledglings to eat. During the colder winter months, you could supplement with some Suet Pellets to help provide birds with the energy they need. Another great alternative is our ready mixed Chips, Granules and Pellets mix.
Packaging
These Sunflower Hearts are packaged in polypropylene hessian / paper bags, which can be re-used and often recycled (check with your local authority). We also offer Sunflower Hearts in paper bags which can be recycled at home.
Suitable Feeders
Sunflower Hearts can be fed from a range of feeders. The most suitable feeders are Sunflower Heart Feeders, but Seed Feeders are also a great choice. You could also feed them from Bird Table or Ground Feeders. Don't forget you may need a Bird Feeding Station to hang your feeders from.
Birds You Might Attract
Sunflower Hearts are loved by many birds. Here's just some of the birds you might attract to your garden if you feed them: Blackbird, Blue Tit, Chaffinch, Coal Tit, Collared Dove, Dunnock, Goldfinch, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Great Tit, Greenfinch, House Sparrow, Long-Tailed Tit, Nuthatch, Robin, Starling, Wood Pigeon, Marsh Tits, Bullfinches.
Storing Your Sunflower Hearts
We recommend storing your bird food in an airtight container in a cool dry place. This helps to keep it fresh for as long as possible. The bags are not designed for long term storage.
Product Notes
- Poor weather has caused havoc across major sunflower-growing regions, which has resulted in another much smaller than expected harvest. As a result, the average heart size can be smaller and darker than previous harvests, at times there may be a greater percentage of chips. Whilst having an aesthetic impact, it will not change the nutritional benefits of this highly nutritious feed.
- With the present world wide shortage there is a concern that current harvest supplies may become exhausted before the new August/Sept crop becomes available.
- Sunflowers hearts are a natural product so the hearts can vary in size dependent on the weather during the growing season. At times they may include a small percentage of chips.
- Premium Sunflower Hearts are also known as Premium Sunflower Heart Kernels and Premium Sunflower Seeds.
- Bird Foods are not fit for human consumption.
