Sunflower Hearts Bucket

Sunflower Hearts for Garden Birds

Our Sunflower Hearts are highly nutritious and oil-rich making them the perfect bird food for all year round feeding, and as the most popular bird seed in the UK, you can expect to see a whole array of wild bird species visiting your garden and tucking into these delicious sunflower kernels.

Sunflower Hearts are a fantastic source of protein, fat, fibre and energy for your feathered friends - containing everything a bird needs to survive all the year-round hardships including cold winters, busy breeding seasons and exhausting fledgling seasons.

Sunflower seeds are tasty and easy to digest - a factor which is crucial for smaller garden birds as with smaller stomachs they need to be able to digest food quickly, and the food they consume must be of a high nutritional value which makes sunflower hearts the best option.

Sunflower heart kernels are also ideal because they leave little to no mess around your bird feeding areas as our sunflower seeds arrive with the husks already removed.

Please note that sunflowers hearts are a natural product so the hearts can vary in size dependent on the weather during the growing season and at times they may include a small percentage of chips.
