Cleaning up husks from seeds is also important if you want to continue to safely attract wild birds to your garden. Best of all, as they have had the husks removed, the birds will eat the whole seed, leaving little if no mess around your feeding station. They are a great energy and protein source, which makes sunflower hearts ideal for all seasons and stages of bird life. For seasoned bird enthusiasts, we have all the accessories, gifts, and hardware you need to make the most out of your garden.

Sunflower hearts will potentially attract a large number of bird species to your garden, and notably most species of tit and finch, plus softbill species such as blackbird.All of our sunflower hearts are suitable for feeding all year round, although you may wish to switch to sunflower chips (or supplement with chips) in the spring months to help fledglings who may not be able to get at the seed quite as easily as adult birds. With Sunflower hearts being husk-free, not only do birds use less energy to consume but there is much less waste left behind in your garden. This means that they are easier for bird to consume and also have the benefit of leaving very little waste in the form of husks, on your lawn or patio. You can also scatter sunflower hearts loose on the ground, but only in a quantity which will be eaten each day and, therefore, won’t be left overnight.

With Sunflower hearts being husk-free, not only do birds use less energy to consume but there is very little waste left behind in your garden.Larger species of bird such as jackdaw and also unwanted grey squirrels will generally be attracted to the easy meal which sunflower hearts represent. This also makes them suitable for soft bill birds such as Blackbirds and Robins, unlike Whole Sunflower Seeds. This includes: seed mixes (including those which contain black sunflower seed), suet balls, cakes or pellets (especially during the Winter), nuts (especially peanuts) and mealworms. High in energy, sunflower heart kernels are a valuable and nutritious bird seed to have in any garden. Finch species such as goldfinch will sit on a perch to eat the sunflower hearts, whereas tit species such as great tit will fly off with a single heart, find a suitable natural perch like a twig, hold the heart with its feet, then chip away and consume small chunks.
