| 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 birds absolutely love them!
24/03/2021Mrs pauline Beckett
I haven’t had these long enough to really give an opinion. I can say though that I’ve changed to these as the premium high energy mix that I normally order doesn’t seem to be as good. It’s being left and then sticks to bird table or feeder. On reading reviews I noticed other people saying the same thing. I also had problems with my order as I ordered meal worms on the same order and they weren’t delivered at all. I had to chase this up twice. Very unusual service for Vine House Farm.
24/03/2021Fran Maddy
Vine House farm always have good service & excellent products.

Very popular with a wide range of birds.

First time I have used your company but no problems and I will use you again when the time comes around. Thank you
09/03/2021Anonymous
Still some loss of food below feeder but not as much as with whole sunflower seeds (black or hulled). Popular with goldfinches and greenfinches but other birds such as blackcap, robin and dunnock occasionally go to feeder.
07/03/2021Mr paul Moseley
Excellent quality and competitively priced!
06/03/2021Mrs susan Foster
I have lots of goldfinches in my garden and the chips are easier for them to eat quickly. Also bluetits and sparrows love them. So much so that I am a regular customer of vine farms as I am constantly filling the feeders. !!
06/03/2021Peter Rowley
Excellent product, well packaged, great service from Vine House Farm

Very good value.
15/02/2021Mrs c Aitchison
Delivery prompt despite lockdown delays. Most garden birds seem to like the chips just as much as the whole seeds, so happy with my choice.
15/02/2021Vivien Stevenette
Always popular with my local birdies, they can’t get enough. The attraction is so keen, my feeders are rarely without goldfinch, bluetits, greenfinch and chaffinch along with sparrow and the ground feeders who clear up after the little ones.
11/02/2021Mr stephen Hibbard
I find Sunflower Heart Chips the ideal food to offer to most birds all of whom seem to really like them. The only down side is that they do get stuck in the feeder when they get wet or damp so I have to shake the feeder to loosen them up. This is compensated by the fact that there is no build up of husks etc below the feeder.
11/02/2021Sue Welch
Birds love them! Only trouble is they eat them too fast

31/08/2020Leonard ross
31/08/2020Frances Philpot
Received promptly and with thanks. The goldfinches asked if there was a deep fried version -cheeky lot!
31/08/2020Elaine Lee
I always use these for my birdfeeders. They are just the right size for little beaks so there is less waste. Vine House Farm delivers promptly
31/08/2020Devinder Paul kapur
4 greenfinches at the feeder as I write this, looks like the Sunflower Heart Chips are proving popular.
01/08/2020Ashley Jones
Excellent value and hardly any active seeds which germinate if they fall. I'm a repeat orderer of these

Bullfinch's favourite.

The sunflower chips scattered on the ground one day are never there the next.
30/07/2020Anonymous
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!
