| FAQ Title 1 | What are Sunflower Heart Chips and how are they produced? |
| FAQ Content 1 | Sunflower Seed Chips are simply broken and small pieces of Sunflower Hearts, which are produced when the husk is taken off the Black Sunflower Seed. |
| FAQ Title 2 | What are the benefits of Sunflower Heart Chips over whole Sunflower Seeds or Hearts? |
| FAQ Content 2 | The small pieces of Sunflower Heart mean that certain species of softbill, and notably Dunnocks and Robins, are more easily able to eat the food compared to whole Sunflower Hearts. As with Sunflower Hearts, Sunflower Heart Chips leave far less waste compared to Black Sunflower Seeds. |
| FAQ Title 3 | What birds eat Sunflower Seed Chips? |
| FAQ Content 3 | All the species which eat Sunflower Hearts will also eat Sunflower Seed Chips, however, Dunnocks and Robins will find it easier to eat the smaller pieces. |
| FAQ Title 4 | How do I feed Sunflower Heart Chips to birds? |
| FAQ Content 4 | The best way to feed Sunflower Heart Chips is on a table, ground feeder or directly onto the ground. This is because smaller soft bill species which favour the food, such as Dunnocks and Robins, are essentially ground feeders and therefore won’t normally go onto hanging feeders (though Robins sometimes will). The Chips can be fed from a hanging seed feeder for finches, though the small pieces do have a tendency to get clogged in a feeder in damp conditions. Ideally then, it’s best to feed Sunflower Chips in the ways suggested above, then use whole Sunflower Hearts from a hanging seed feeder as well. |

The sunflower chips scattered on the ground one day are never there the next.

Overall I have found chips to be the best all round feed. Tits, blue and Great, gold finches and robins. Good because blue tits who will sift through mixed food by throughing it out of the feeder can be very wasteful. But with chips they will take the small piece and sit in the bush and eat it.
30/07/2020Stephen Brian
Always great quality and the birds and other animals enjoy them.
30/07/2020Anonymous
The birds seem to love them (as does the pesky squirrel)
30/07/2020Judy Mcdonell
I have used this product for a number of years and find the chips much better than the whole hearts for the small birds, such as goldfinches and blue tits, which visit our feeders. However, I will not be re-ordering from Vine House Farm for the reason given below.
10/07/2020Randell Moll
The most popular feed for most of our birds. Goldfinches, blue tits, great tits, greenfinches, sparrows, robins, woodpeckers, starlings, are all regular this summer, with blackbirds, jackdaws and a pair of doves on the ground under the feeders. Pigeons of course. Wrens some days and very occasionally a pair of bullfinches.
08/07/2020Cathy Tipple
Great product. Good price. No mess as the birds eat all of it.
01/07/2020Jill Armstrong
Very good site with effecient and speedy delivery. These chips are excellent at attracting gold finches which is what I wanted to see in my garden
30/06/2020Dennis Rice
This attracts 7 species of birds into my garden with the advantage of spillage not germinating.

Birds like these too.
29/06/2020Anonymous
The sunflower chips are a new one on me, but a good compromise for putting in a feeder as well as on a surface. Also the blackbirds have to work harder to get through a feeding!
29/06/2020Dorothy Moodie
Good quality, fresh seed. The chips flow better than whole seeds in my "My Favourites" lantern-type feeder.
29/06/2020Anonymous
Have been ordering these for years as little mess and the birds love them and recently even our red squirrels have mastered the art of hanging upside down on the feeder to get at them!
29/06/2020Sarah Beadles
Very good product birds
29/06/2020William Chandler
As always, the prompt delivery of the Sunflower Heart Chips meant I could feed the variety of birds that relish them, with considerably less waste than whole seeds.
29/06/2020Paul Holley
Very pleased with these. Good quality, clean sunflower pieces with no dust or waste material and our Goldfinches love them.
29/06/2020Hilary Hodkinson
We swapped from whole Sunflower Hearts to the Chips on the advice of Nicholas Watts, because we had a problem with the amount of mess below the feeder - and it has worked for us - far less mess around the feeding area now!
29/06/2020Keith Godwin
Seems the a large variety of birds love these, I am refilling the two feeders in my garden every three days.
29/06/2020Emlyn Hicks
Spot on!!!!!!!!! Spot on!!!!!!!!!!!

These do seem very popular with small birds. Unfortunately, squirrels also seem to love them to the point that I've had to install a squirrel proof feeder.
06/06/2020Jane Connor
this is going down a treat with all the birds which visit my feeders. I have a wide range, including tits, sparrows, gold and green finches, chaffinch, nuthatch dunnocks, blackbirds and thrushes, and even woodpeckers!

FAQS
What are Sunflower Heart Chips and how are they produced?
What are the benefits of Sunflower Heart Chips over whole Sunflower Seeds or Hearts?
The small pieces of Sunflower Heart mean that certain species of softbill, and notably Dunnocks and Robins, are more easily able to eat the food compared to whole Sunflower Hearts. As with Sunflower Hearts, Sunflower Heart Chips leave far less waste compared to Black Sunflower Seeds.
What birds eat Sunflower Seed Chips?
All the species which eat Sunflower Hearts will also eat Sunflower Seed Chips, however, Dunnocks and Robins will find it easier to eat the smaller pieces.
How do I feed Sunflower Heart Chips to birds?
The best way to feed Sunflower Heart Chips is on a table, ground feeder or directly onto the ground. This is because smaller soft bill species which favour the food, such as Dunnocks and Robins, are essentially ground feeders and therefore won’t normally go onto hanging feeders (though Robins sometimes will). The Chips can be fed from a hanging seed feeder for finches, though the small pieces do have a tendency to get clogged in a feeder in damp conditions. Ideally then, it’s best to feed Sunflower Chips in the ways suggested above, then use whole Sunflower Hearts from a hanging seed feeder as well.
