Sunflower Seeds & Hearts | Garden Wildlife Direct

Sunflower Seeds For Birds

Packed full of nutritional goodness, our sunflower seeds for birds range is suitable for a wide range of hungry garden birds and will be a particular attraction for some of our favourites, including the blue tit, robin and house sparrow.

Our sunflower hearts for birds range is available as kernel hearts or chips and will help to support the nutritional and energy requirements of your visiting garden birds. Our premium sunflower hearts bird food is also less likely to germinate as the husks are removed to leave just the tender and delicious seed centre without any debris around the bird feeder. Or for smaller birds, opt for sunflower chips that are easier for them to hold and swallow.

With our cheapest online promise, all our sunflower seeds and hearts bird food also offers excellent quality and value, meaning this tasty morsel can be a regular bird feeder treat in your garden.
