Description
It's well known that if you're going to feed one kind of seed to garden birds, it should be Sunflower Seeds as they are readily accepted by more birds than any other kind of seed. They will provide garden birds with the high fat and high energy that they'll need, especially in the winter months.
Sunflower Hearts are simply the hulled, shell-less inside of a Sunflower Seed. Wild birds will want to reserve as much energy as possible and will readily take Sunflower Hearts over Sunflower Seeds as the latter require the bird to crack them open. This will especially be true in Winter when their energy levels are even more important. This also makes it easier on us humans as we have no clearing up of the shells once the birds have fed off the Sunflower Heart inside. Since the shells of Sunflower Seeds contain a component that is toxic to grass, this is an important factor for many people in choosing whether to offer Sunflower Seeds in or out of the shell, in case any drop to the garden grass.
If you are using an average 450g feeder in your garden then you could expect to fill it around 44 times with this 20kg bag. So each fill will only cost you 42p which makes these sunflowers hearts great value for money. Remember, you are not paying extra for the sunflower shell!
Sunflower Hearts will usually attract Tits, Finches, Dunnock, Sparrows, Pigeons, Doves and Thrushes.
They are suitable for seed feeders, ground feeders and bird tables.
This product needs to be kept in a cool dry place, and if you've got a fancy storage bin, this bag will need approximately 27 litres.
