    Ideal for serving with suet pellets and chopped peanuts on the bird table. They seem to appeal to all visitors, they're clean to handle and leave no mess. Good value.

    I have been using these for years as the birds love them. They rarely sprout if they fall off the tray beneath and flow well through the feeder. Thoroughly recommended.

    I have been buying from Vinehouse Farm for years and I have never had anything except excellent products and excellent service - the sunflower heart chips are no exception. Exactly what it says on the tin and very clean, no dust or debris. Birds love it.

    Not a lot of wastage. Incessant rain may make those at the bottom of the feeder go horrible, but generally speaking it's all good.

    Vine House Farm always sells good quality wild bird food. A bit more expensive than some but you get what you say for. Sun flower heart chips are easier for smaller birds to cope with including soft bill birds. They all always get eaten, there's never a bit left.

    As an all round food for the small birds. Works for me. It will stick a bit in very wet weather. But in general, I have not found a better food.

    Since buying your Sunflower Heart Chips many years ago, I have had a wide variety of birds at each of my homes. Since moving three years ago, not so many but I think that there is a young blackcap coming now. I am delighted. A big bag of entertainment for the price of a show ticket.

    It's not what I think of them, it's the birds' reaction. I think every sparrow in the area and lots of other birds visit my feeder and are at the moment (July) emptying it every day. They queue up and squabble very noisily over whose turn it is. Any chip that falls is wolfed down by blackbirds, so there is no waste. I'm not going to mention the squirrels except to say they think the chips are delicious too.

    Very popular with my garden birds. I have to refill the feeders every second day. Because the sunflower hearts are in chips, there appears to be less sunflower waste on the ground.

    These are just what I wanted, quite finely chopped and destined to feed a family of tiny wood mice. The very small kibble might be a bit too fine for bird feeders, though a nyger feeder would work. Because I'm not feeding birds, and the chips go into a little dish, I'm very happy. They all vanish overnight.

    As always a very quick delivery of my order. I buy sunflower Heart chips as they are smaller bites for the bird which leads to minimal wastage. Note must be feed in large dia feeders and will stick if dampness gets in. I just shake the feeders everyday.

    Good quality and good delivery as always from Vinehouse. Only point I would make - I usually get complete Sunflower hearts. These chips are probably good for smallest birds and chick food - but they are very easy for starlings to spray out of the feeder and all over the ground !! Im back on full sized hearts with added peanut granules - almost all of which seems to stay in the feeder until eaten!!!!

Unlike sunflower seeds, sunflower heart chips for birds do not come with the black husk attached, and the heart of the seed is broken down into smaller, more manageable chunks. This means that even the smallest garden birds can enjoy the benefits that come with consuming sunflower seeds.

Sunflower heart chips are an ideal type of bird food for soft-bill birds, like Blackbirds and Robins. These kinds of birds are unable to break down whole seeds because of the shape of their beaks; they are not evolved to break off the tough outer layer of the seed (called the husk). If you only put whole sunflower seeds that are still in their husks in your garden, soft-bill birds will not attempt to eat them. 

 Both sunflower hearts and sunflower heart chips have had the seed’s husk pre-removed. This means these kinds of birds are able to consume them, making them an excellent choice if you want to attract more wild bird species into your garden.
