Product Description

Keep Your Songbirds Chirping with Our Irresistible Black Sunflower Seeds

Introducing our 1.5kg bag of Black Sunflower Seeds – the ultimate natural treat for your garden birds. Sourced from the finest quality sunflowers, these sunflower seeds are carefully selected for their rich flavour and essential nutrients, making them a favourite that garden birds love.

Black sunflower seeds are prized for their high oil content, as they are made up of around 40% of essential oils. This provides wild birds with a valuable source of energy, for year round feeding but especially when needing that high energy during winter months as bird food can be scarce. 

Their small size and easy to crack shells make them accessible to birds of all sizes, while their nutrient rich kernels ensure a satisfying meal every time. Plus, their natural black colour adds visual interest to your bird feeding area, enhancing the beauty of your outdoor space. If you are wanting a husk free option to your bird feeder, but still want the nutritional benefits for the wild birds, try out our sunflower hearts.
