Black Sunflower Seeds 1 kg - Premium, Cleaned and High-Energy Feed for Garden Birds
Black sunflower seeds are a true feeder classic and one of the most reliable energy sources for wild garden birds. Their thin hull is easy to open even for smaller species, while the naturally high oil and protein content supports condition on cold days, during breeding and throughout the moult. Offered regularly, they quickly become a staple in the avian menu and draw a lively variety of birds to your outdoor space.
Why choose black sunflower?
- High energy density - natural oils help birds maintain body temperature and recover quickly after exertion.
- Thin, easy-to-crack hull - fewer leftovers and better uptake across a wide range of species.
- All-season versatility - perfect as a winter staple and a valuable supplement through spring and summer.
- Natural composition - 100% cleaned seed with no additives or preservatives, prepared for safe feeding.
Which birds will you attract?
Readily taken by blue tits and great tits, greenfinches, siskins, goldfinches, chaffinches, bullfinches and hawfinches, as well as nuthatches, house sparrows and great spotted woodpeckers. Black sunflower also works well as a nutritious component in mixes for pigeons and doves.
How to feed
- Use tube, hopper or platform feeders. In sheltered spots you can offer seed on a tray.
- Top up little and often - fresh seed is eaten more eagerly and does not sit in the feeder.
- For greater species diversity, combine with millet, cereal flakes or unsalted peanuts.
- Provide fresh, clean water in a bird bath at all times.
When to feed
- Autumn and winter - feed regularly, with black sunflower forming the backbone of a high-calorie menu.
- Spring and summer - offer modest amounts as a supplement to natural food sources.
Hygiene and safety
- Clean feeders frequently and remove hulls and stale food. Dry all parts thoroughly after washing.
- Protect seed from moisture - wet seed may go mouldy and is not suitable for birds.
- Place feeders in safe, open locations with good visibility, away from large windows and feline hunting routes.
Storage
- Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, out of direct sunlight.
- Use airtight containers to protect seed from damp and pests.
- Avoid mixing new seed with leftovers in the feeder - empty and clean before refilling.
