10KG SACK OF SUNFLOWER HEARTS - BIRD FOOD

£16.99 GBP
£16.99 GBP
Sunflower seeds are one of the most popular bird seeds of all time due to the vast number of birds they attract as well as the high nutritional value. They are available in many forms such as black oil and striped sunflower seeds and sunflower hearts for birds. If you are a bird enthusiast seeking to attract more birds in to your garden, you can't go wrong with some of these seeds as they will attract a wide range of birds such as Thrushes, Bluebirds, Green finches, Mockingbirds as well as Robins. Because hulled sunflower seeds are more expensive, it is best to offer them in feeders that have some protection from bully birds or voracious eaters, and many backyard birders prefer not to offer these pricey seeds in open platform feeders. Large hopper feeders are ideal, but the feeders should be covered to protect the seed from moisture – without their shells, these seeds can spoil more quickly than other types of sunflower seeds. Tube feeders with large feeding ports can also accommodate hulled sunflower seeds and may be a better option for backyards with squirrels, as the tube feeders are more difficult for these pesky critters to access. Additional baffles and other techniques to make feeders squirrel-resistant can be useful when offering hulled sunflower seeds to ensure the seeds go to the birds rather than to other hungry wildlife
