Sunflower Hearts FAQs

Can all types of birds eat sunflower hearts, or are they only suitable for certain species?

Sunflower hearts are enjoyed by a wide variety of bird species, from small garden birds like Finches and Sparrows to larger birds like Woodpeckers and Jays. We recommend  researching the specific dietary needs of the bird species you are looking to attract to ensure that sunflower hearts are a suitable addition to their diet. 

Can sunflower hearts be used in bird feeders?

Sunflower hearts can be used in bird feeders. They are a popular choice among bird enthusiasts because they are easy to eat and mess-free. You can use them in any type of bird feeder, including tube feeders, hopper feeders, and platform feeders. Keep in mind that birds may have different feeding preferences, so it's always a good idea to offer a variety of foods in your bird feeders to attract a wider range of bird species.

Can sunflower hearts go bad or expire?

Sunflower hearts can go bad or expire over time, just like any other type of birdseed.
