Black Sunflower Seeds can be fed all year from table, ground or feeder.
They are high in oil and protein. For many birds they are the seed of choice.
Black Sunflower Seeds contain a high percentage of protein and the soft outer shell make it easier for smaller wild birds to open them. Black Sunflower Seed is a source of high quality protein and oil that is particularly important during the winter months.
Black Sunflower Seed is very low in Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source of Vitamin E, Pantothenic Acid, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Copper, Manganese and Selenium, and a good source of Thiamin.
For many captive birds sunflower seeds contain too much fat and oil and should be used sparingly especially if you are feeding a caged bird.
The quality and purity of sunflower has dropped over the last few years mainly because it is now grown for oil rather than birds. This product can have stalks and parts of the sunflower head present. It does not present any danger to the birds.
