Sunflower Hearts Bucket

Sunflower Hearts for Garden Birds

Sunflower Hearts are the most popular food to have on offer in any garden or outdoor space! Providing wild birds with a fantastic source of nutrition - sunflower kernels are rich in protein, fat, fibre and many other energy-rich ingredients.

Not only are sunflower hearts a healthy, high-calorie option for all your feathered friends, they are also easy for birds to digest which is especially important amongst smaller wild birds as they have smaller stomachs and need to be able to digest food quickly.

Sunflower heart kernels are also ideal because they leave little to no mess around your bird feeding areas as our sunflower seeds arrive with the husks already removed.

Please note that sunflowers hearts are a natural product so the hearts can vary in size dependent on the weather during the growing season and at times they may include a small percentage of chips.

Available Sizes
