The first time I hung out my feeder filled with these sunflower chips I was taken aback with the speed with which the birds emptied it! Sure a lot of bits fell to earth but they were soon scooped up by ground feeders. Goldfinches, Tree and House Sparrows, Greenfinches, Chaffinches, Blue, Coal and Great **** all love the feeder, whilst Blackbirds, Robins and other ground feeders (including my neighbours’s very free range chickens!) keep the area beneath the feeder clean and clear. I’ve always used the full seeds before, but these seem to attract more species. A great product! Thank you Haiths!
Hello Tim, thank you for this great review. It sounds like your local bird population are loving our Sunflower Heart Chips. It's great they are bringing so many species to your feeders!
I mix these with Haiths Red Band for the wild birds 50/50. Feeding the chips is so much easy for them to consume as I find feeding full hearts they take away to consume..with the chips they stay and take what they want.
Hello Robert, thank you for your review.
Less seed on floor and they seem to last longer than the whole sunflower seeds good purchase
Hello, many thanks for your lovely review.
High quality product. Lasts longer than whole sunflower hearts with less wastage.
Hello Timothy, thank you for your review. That's great news, the wild birds do love the sunflower heart chips.
I am constantly refilling the feeders as all the birds love the sunflower heart chips. It is comical to watch collared doves and sometimes wood pigeons balancing on the feeders!!

How to Feed Sunflower Heart Chips to Your Feathered Visitors
Sunflower Heart Chips can be fed straight from the bag or mixed into your birds' favourite seed mixes for added variety. They're especially effective in tube feeders, where their size allows for easy access and feeding. For ground-feeding birds, scattering a handful on a bird table or directly on the ground can also attract shy or ground-preference species.

The smaller pieces make it easier for birds of all sizes to enjoy, ensuring that everyone from tiny tits to larger finches can benefit from the goodness of sunflower hearts. Their bite-sized format is especially appealing during the breeding season when parents are seeking easily manageable food for their chicks.
