Premium Sunflower Heart Kernels

We have been forced to take stock not in our usual paper bags due to issues both with the sunflower harvest and issues at UK Ports. As soon as possible we will ensure our sunflower hearts are only sent out in paper bags.

These highly nutritious and oil-rich sunflower hearts for wild birds come without the husks of complete sunflower seeds. With the husks removed the sunflower heart (kernel) are the perfect feed to place in seed feeders or specifically designed sunflower feeders to hang from a feeding station. The good news is that with the husks removed, the birds will eat the whole seed normally leaving minimal mess though at times you can’t always legislate for the odd messy eater!

Although these sunflower hearts are classified as 'bakery grade', they aren't in fact suitable for human consumption. Bakery grade, in this instance, means our sunflower hearts have the highest possible oil content, which is produced by the black sunflower seed. As a natural product the size of the hearts can vary based on the weather through growing season. A small percentage of chips may be included in your bag, these are loved by smaller birds.

Ideally used with compatible seed feeders, these highly diverse sunflower hearts can be scattered on the ground or on the top of bird tables to maximise the amount of different bird species to your garden. An absolute favourite of finches and tits.
