Black Sunflower Seeds

Sunflower Seeds have always been a popular bird food. With each seed encasing within its husk a delicious Sunflower Heart, these seeds offer an excellent energy rich food source. Although some birds can eat a whole Black Sunflower Seed, most of our smaller birds must first strip the husk to reach the Sunflower Heart inside before being eaten. Whilst it may take a while for our Tit family to remove these husks, Finches and Sparrows have no problem cracking the hard shells using their larger, heavier beaks. However, don’t be overly concerned by the work our Tit family endure to reach the seeds within as once cracked, the high energy reward is certainly worth the effort.  

 With the retention of their husk, the seeds within are weatherproofed, therefore making them the perfect choice for use in a seed feeder where food is often left out in all our typical British weather. Furthermore, with Black Sunflower Seeds being a favourite food for Greenfinches, Bull Finches, Sparrows, Nuthatches, Blue Tits and Great Tits, this attributes even-more-so to using a feeder knowing that all these birds are a common sight feeding from our seed feeders.
