Sunflower Seeds and Hearts

Sunflower hearts have become increasingly popular and are loved by Goldfinches, Greenfinches, Great Tits and Blue Tits.

Sunflower hearts are high in energy, high in oil and they are easily digestable; they are the inner seed of the Black Sunflower seeds whose husks have been removed. The husks having been removed means that the birds can feed more quickly and they do not leave a mess of husks behind. They are now the stable diet of feeding wild birds, but not the cheapest food to buy.
