Description

Sunflower hearts for birds are simply sunflower seeds with the outer husk removed. They are one of our most popular straight seeds as they are suitable for feeding a large number of different wild bird species. A great value alternative to sunflower seeds, sunflower hearts are virtually mess-free. They are also a great source of nutrition for garden birds, and can be enjoyed by softbill species.

3kg & 6kg now available in paper packaging

    The premium sunflower hearts are normally top quality but there was a slight problem with this bag when I opened it probably due to a production line fault. The problem was immediately sorted by Vinehouse Farm hence the 5 stars.

    Good product, which I have used successfully for several years. Popular with all the visiting birds, although robins, blackbirds and the like seem to prefer taking scraps from the ground rather than using an elevated open tray. Doesn't clog the feeder, and there's certainly much less waste than having them with the outer shell still on - although the small birds like greenfinch and goldfinch still seem to find some husk to reject.

    These sunflower hearts certainly attract the birds to our small garden. We have had feeders out for some time and a few birds have come occasionally. A friend recommended me to try these Sunflower Hearts from Vine House and now after only two or three months we have a flock of up to thirty goldfinches here almost all the time. A week or so ago we noticed a couple of bluetits are visiting regularly as well. Hopefully we will get more species as the winter progresses. We are now having to buy much larger bags of food! I should also add that the delivery of this from Vine House is amazing as well, arriving almost as soon as it is ordered!

Buy sunflower hearts for birds to attract a variety of wild bird species to your garden. 

Sunflower seeds come from the flowers of sunflower plants, with the seeds developing as the flower dies off at the end of the summer. They are ideal for garden birds as they help provide them with the energy levels they need.

Although there are many varieties of cultivated sunflower, there are basically just two types that are used for seed for feeding garden birds; striped sunflower and black sunflower seeds (also sometimes called black oil sunflower). Striped has a harder outer husk than black, which is one of the reasons why black is more popular as it’s easier for birds to remove the husk.

Our husk-free sunflower hearts for birds are great for attracting a wide range of wild birds to your garden all year round. With the husk pre-removed, our sunflower hearts for birds can also be enjoyed by softbill birds. This includes birds such as the Blackbird, Song Thrush and Robin (see our 'What birds eat this' section for more information on this). 

We also offer Sunflower Heart Chips. These are easier to consume for smaller species such as Dunnocks and Robins. Chips are an ideal type of bird feed for the fledgling season. Sunflower hearts are a nutritious seed and can be found in a number of our mixes. They are a great energy and protein source, which makes sunflower hearts ideal for all seasons and stages of bird life.

With the husk removed, birds can enjoy the whole seed without wasting energy on cracking them open to feed. This is especially important during colder months, when birds need to conserve their energy, and it also means that a wider range of bird species -- including softbill birds like Blackbirds and Robins -- can eat them.
