My songbirds can't get enough of these sunflower hearts. The squirrel does his best to get at them too, sometimes successfully, sometimes not. Very well packaged for storage

A very popular favourite with many species!
16/04/2024Mrs clare Andrew
Arrived on time. This is the best all round feed as so many birds will eat these. They don’t fall out of the feeder easily which I am happy about as the wood pigeons would eat the lot given the chance.

These sunflower hearts are always very popular especially with the goldfinches, so much so a neighbour asked where I bought them and said she would give them a try as she never attracted many goldfinches.

I've used Vine House Farm for the past year and I've been hugely impressed with the quality of service and speed of the delivery. I've also bought a bird feeder from them and it's a high quality product.

These are some of the best sunflower hearts . I have a lot less discards from the feeding birds then I do with some other similar products.
05/04/2024Pam Mcdonald
No problem with the ordering and speed of delivery but DPD left the 20kg bag outside my property as I was away for the weekend instead of putting in the greenhouse as requested. Luckily a neighbour took it in

Very quick delivery. Less than 24 hours.
03/04/2024Liz Latham
These are excellent for attracting birds, especially Goldfinches to our garden but also a variety of other species including blue tits, great tits and the odd sparrow and robin. We have been using these sunflower hearts for about six or seven months now, but beware, the birds are flocking to our garden in such numbers, it is costing us a fortune! Well worth it though! Also, the service from Vinehouse is second to none, often arriving within 24 hours of the order for no extra charge!l
02/04/2024Mrs kathleen Nelson
My birds love the sunflower hearts and so do I as they are easy to manage and don’t leave a mess in my very damp garden. Would be great if the delivery people would follow instructions and not deliver to my neighbour when they should put in my porch! This stuff is heavy, I’m 74 and my neighbour has health issues which make moving the bags to even get in her door a really bad idea!!!’
02/04/2024Fiona Robinson
As always, the website is excellent and the order is dealt with and delivered very promptly. Thank you for a quality product.

The sunflower hearts are so good the birds and squirrels are eating them so fast, I can’t keep up. Excellent value, cheaper than garden centres I visit. Free delivery is always quick. Wouldn’t buy from anywhere else.

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.
