Farmer Scott's Sunflower Hearts 2KG – Premium Garden & Wild Bird Feed

Farmer Scott's Sunflower Hearts – 2kg

This is the small bag of Farmer Scott's sunflower hearts — 2kg of dehusked kernels, enough to keep one or two feeders going for a few weeks. Hearts have no shell, so nothing accumulates under the feeder and nothing needs sweeping off a patio.

The trade-off with a shelled seed is that it takes up moisture readily, so a bag you can finish in a month is often the better buy than a sack that sits half-used in a damp shed. That is the case for this size rather than the 12.55kg.

Performance & Benefits

• 2kg of dehusked sunflower kernels — no shells, no waste beneath the feeder.
• A size that gets used up while it is still in good condition.
• Accepted by more garden bird species than almost any other single seed.
• Feeds through standard seed feeder ports, and works on a table or ground tray too.
• Easy to store indoors in a cupboard or bin rather than needing shed space.

Suitable For

• One or two feeders, topped up every few days.
• Patios, decking and paths, where husks would otherwise need sweeping.
• Trying sunflower hearts for the first time without committing to a sack.
• Not economical if you fill several feeders daily — the 12.55kg bag of the same hearts is the sensible size then.

Feeding

• Fill a seed feeder, bird table or ground tray, on their own or stirred into a seed mix.
• Top up little and often; hearts spoil faster than seed in its shell once damp.
• Wash and dry feeders regularly, and shift the feeding point occasionally.
• Reseal the bag after each fill and keep a dry scoop with it.
• Farmer Scott's publish no feeding rate for hearts, so go by what the birds take.

Composition & Analysis

• 2kg bag. Barcode 5026132035777.
• Dehusked sunflower hearts. No oil, protein, fibre or moisture figure is published by Farmer Scott's, and none is given here.
• No aflatoxin or mycotoxin testing statement is published for this or any other Farmer Scott's bird food.
• Unusually for a 2kg bag, the barcode here uses the 5026132 Henry Bell prefix rather than Farmer Scott's own 5061043 — their other 2kg bags use 5061043.
