Description
A 2.25kg bag of Bakery Grade Sunflower Chips, meaning they have the highest oil content and are even more nutritious.
If you're going to feed only one kind of bird seed to your wild birds, it should be sunflower seeds as they are accepted by more birds than any other kind of seed. They'll provide garden birds with high fat and energy that they'll require, especially in the colder winter months.
Sunflower chips are just the broken up pieces of Sunflower Hearts (which are Sunflower seeds without the shell, just the nutmeat). This makes it really easy for the birds to eat, especially ones with smaller beaks who could choke on bigger seeds. Because of their smaller size they'll usually leave no if any mess as more birds can easily eat them. During the breeding season these chips will be sought after by birds for their young due to their smaller size for their chicks. During the winter, birds will choose these seeds over sunflower seeds, as the latter require them to crack them open, taking up valuable energy. Sunflower chps are also a no mess wild bird seed, which means that there aren't any seed shells to clear up after the birds have fed.
Sunflower chips are usually eaten by Tits, Finches, Dunnocks, Sparrows, Pigeons, Doves and Thrushes.
Sunflower chips are suitable for seed feeders or sprinkled onto the ground or a bird table. We'd recommend a seed feeder designed for finer seeds, due to the chips small size. Shelled sunflower seeds usually spoil faster when exposed to dampness so they should be offered in feeders that provide protection from the harsh weather outside.
