Using husk-free hearts rather than seeds means birds do not have to expend as much energy removing the outer layer. During colder months, providing bird food that allows birds to reserve their energy is important.

They are ideal for garden birds as they help provide them with the energy levels they need. You can also scatter sunflower hearts loose on the ground, but only in a quantity which will be eaten each day and, therefore, won’t be left overnight. Two main reasons being a) so rats aren’t attracted, and b) because sunflower hearts are harmful to hedgehogs. Hearts have many benefits, including that they help birds to preserve their energy, which is especially important during the Winter.

A hanging seed feeder is an essential part of the mix, with this mainly used by finches and tits. Finch species such as goldfinch will sit on a perch to eat the sunflower hearts, whereas tit species such as great tit will fly off with a single heart, find a suitable natural perch like a twig, hold the heart with its feet, then chip away and consume small chunks. Using a hanging feeder with round perches will also allow chaffinches and even ground feeding birds like robins to also get to the food (robins swallow the sunflower hearts whole). - Ground trays or bird tablesAll of our sunflower hearts are suitable for feeding all year round, although you may wish to switch to sunflower chips (or supplement with chips) in the spring months to help fledglings who may not be able to get at the seed quite as easily as adult birds.
