FREE DeliverySunflower 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.

Always buy these sunflower hearts, and always from this company. We get loads of birds in our garden and it's a good all round food. The Robin family love them and we now have a family of sparrows eating them.

The birds absolutely love them. And there’s no waste - any that fall to the floor in the frenzy are quickly mopped up by the blackbirds, pigeons and doves. Real value for money and super quality.

23/05/2025Mrs diana ede
Good quality and loved by my garden birds who empty the feeder daily I’d also like to review the rapeseed I bought from you None of the birds would eat it I mixed it with other seeds and it was left So much fell onto the lawn I had a large pact of it growing and now have a bare patch in the lawn and seedlings growing around the garden
22/05/2025Gail Ward

17/05/2025Avril Harris
Well I take the opinion of the birds very seriously and the speed with which they demolish them would suggest a very high level of approval.
16/05/2025Anita Stratford
Delivery good and pleased with the sunflower heats
14/05/2025Caroline Hitch
Vine House Farm is very efficient at delivering quickly and my local birds love their sunflower hearts. I get through alot. Five stars is fully deserved.
14/05/2025John Beddow
Since using again the greenfinches and goldfinches have comeback in consistent numbers. Amazingly, with an expectation this time of year for more natural food, these hearts and our suet are disappearing very quickly.
09/05/2025Pam Hunt
These are the best Sunflower Hearts I've been able to purchase for at least 2 years, some have generally been so small 90% of them fell through the feeder mesh, with Vine Farm Sunflowers only a tiny amount are small enough to escape the feeders so thank you Vine Farm, I will be ordering again.
08/05/2025Jo Woods
Birds soon appear at the bird feeder when the mixed seed feeders are hung up. When sunflower hearts are added to the mixed seeds it gives them a treat.
06/05/2025Henrietta Gregory
Have been using Vine House Farm for my delivered bird seed for years, they are excellent. Quality products they mainly grow themselves and fast delivery. Definitely recommend.

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.
