Sunflower Hearts 20kg - Free P & P

Sunflower Hearts for Wild Birds

Sunflower hearts (also known as sunflower kernels) are one of the most popular and nutritious wild bird foods available. Packed with oil, protein and calories, they provide wild birds with an outstanding source of energy and warmth — particularly during the cold winter months. Best of all, being husk-free means no mess and virtually no waste on your lawn or patio.

What Are Sunflower Hearts?

Sunflower hearts are sunflower seeds with the outer husk already removed, leaving just the nutritious kernel inside. Our sunflower hearts are sourced from the finest bakery grade stock — the same quality you would find on a loaf of bread at your local bakery. This ensures a consistently high oil content and superior nutritional value for your garden birds.

Why Choose Sunflower Hearts?

Unlike whole black sunflower seeds, sunflower hearts require no effort from birds to eat — there is no husk to crack open. This makes them accessible to a much wider variety of species, including smaller birds that may struggle with whole seeds. The lack of husks also means no mess left behind on your lawn, patio or decking.

Which Birds Eat Sunflower Hearts?

Sunflower hearts attract a fantastic variety of garden birds including goldfinches, siskins, greenfinches, robins, starlings, sparrows, blue tits, great tits, nuthatches and chaffinches. They are one of the best all-round bird foods for attracting a wide range of species to your garden.

How to Feed Sunflower Hearts

Sunflower hearts are best offered in a seed feeder, but can also be fed from a bird table or ground feeding tray. They are suitable for year-round feeding and can be mixed with other seeds and foods to create a varied and nutritious diet for your garden birds.
