FAQs

What are sunflower hearts?

Sunflower hearts are sunflower seeds that have had their outer husk removed. This means birds eat the entire kernel, making them a highly nutritious and mess-free food source.

Which birds will eat Happy Beaks Sunflower Hearts?

This feed is popular with a wide variety of birds including Blackbirds, Blue Tits, Chaffinches, Coal Tits, Collared Doves, Dunnocks, Goldfinches, Great Spotted Woodpeckers, Great Tits, Greenfinches, House Sparrows, Long-tailed Tits, Nuthatches, Robins, Starlings, and Woodpigeons.

Can I put this food on the ground?

Yes, Happy Beaks Sunflower Hearts are suitable for use on ground feeders. Their lack of husks makes them a clean option for ground feeding.

How should I store the bird food?

Store the bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and pests. Ensure the bag is tightly sealed after each use to maintain freshness.

What is the shelf life of this product?

While there isn't a strict 'use-by' date, it's best to use the feed within a year of purchase for optimal freshness. Ensure it is stored correctly to prevent spoilage.

Is this food suitable for all seasons?

Yes, sunflower hearts are a high-energy food source that is beneficial for birds year-round, providing essential nutrition during both breeding and winter months.

Troubleshooting

Birds are not visiting the feeder.

Ensure the feeder is placed in a safe location, away from predators, and visible to birds. Try moving the feeder to a new spot in the garden. Ensure the feed is fresh and has been stored correctly.

Feeder is being dominated by larger birds.

Consider using a feeder with smaller openings or a squirrel-proof feeder. You may also want to offer the feed on a ground feeder where multiple birds can access it simultaneously.

Feed appears to be going moldy.

This can happen if the feed becomes wet. Ensure the feeder has adequate drainage and is not overfilled, especially during wet weather. Store unused feed in a dry place and ensure the bag is sealed.
