Sunflower Hearts

Sunflower hearts are sunflower seeds with the husks removed, giving birds all the goodness of sunflower with nothing to discard. Rich in oil and protein, they're one of the most popular foods for garden birds and are eaten by almost every species that visits. Ideal for hanging feeders, tables and trays, and perfect for patios and tidy gardens.

Key features:

• Husk-free, so there's nothing to sweep up
• High in natural oils and protein
• Eaten by a wide range of garden birds
• No unwanted seedlings under feeders or in borders
• Attracts goldfinches, greenfinches, blue tits, great tits and robins

Almost every garden bird will take sunflower hearts. Goldfinches, greenfinches and siskins gather at hanging feeders, while blue tits, great tits and coal tits come and go all day. Robins, dunnocks, chaffinches and house sparrows feed happily from tables and trays below.

Sunflower hearts are rich in oil and protein, giving birds the energy to keep warm through cold nights and supporting healthy feathers during moult. With the husk already removed, even small birds can feed quickly and easily.

Q1. Where and how much should I feed?
Use in a hanging seed feeder, or scatter on a bird table or ground tray, about two metres from a hedge or shrub for cover. Because almost every piece is eaten, a little goes a long way: start with a small handful a day and top up as it's cleared.

Q2. How do I store it and keep feeders clean?
Sunflower hearts are oil-rich and sensitive to damp, so store them in a cool, dry, airtight container and use within a few months. Clean feeders every week or two with hot soapy water or a wildlife-safe disinfectant, then dry thoroughly. In wet weather, check that no seed is clumping in the feeder ports.
