Walter Harrisons Sunflower Hearts are highly nutritious and suitable for a wide variety of common garden birds. However, their richness and size may be more appealing to larger species. Smaller birds will still feed on them if available.
It means the outer shell of the sunflower seed has been removed. This results in a cleaner feeding experience with no waste, as birds eat the entire kernel.
Yes, sunflower hearts provide excellent year-round nutrition, but they are especially beneficial during the winter months when natural food sources are scarce.
Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a sealed container or the original bag, away from direct sunlight and pests to maintain freshness.
You can attract a wide array of birds including Wrens, Robins, Blackbirds, Tits, Chaffinches, Greenfinches, Sparrows, Thrushes, and Siskins.
Yes, sunflower hearts can be scattered on the ground, which is a preferred feeding method for some species like robins and blackbirds.
This depends on the number of birds visiting your garden. Monitor your feeders and refill as needed, ensuring food is always available, especially during peak feeding times.
Ensure feeders are clean and accessible. Birds may be wary of a new food source; allow a few days for them to discover it. Check that the feeder opening is large enough for the hearts.
While husk-free, some minor shell fragments or droppings may occur. Consider using a tray feeder or a ground feeding station designed to contain food.
If you wish to attract smaller birds, consider placing some food in a sheltered spot on the ground or using a feeder that has smaller ports, though this may require a different type of seed.
Setup: This product is ready to use straight from the bag. Simply fill your chosen bird feeder, place it on a bird table, or scatter it on a clean area of the ground.
Compatibility: Ideal for use with most standard bird seed feeders, especially those with larger openings. It is also suitable for bird tables and ground feeding. Due to the size of the hearts, ensure your feeder ports are adequate to allow dispensing.
Care: Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and pests. Once opened, ensure the bag is resealed tightly to maintain freshness and prevent moisture ingress. Regularly clean bird feeders to prevent the buildup of bacteria and mold, ensuring a healthy feeding environment for birds.
