Henry Bell Heritage Everyday Sunflower Feeder

Henry Bell Heritage Everyday Sunflower Feeder

Sunflower is the seed that earns its place fastest. Whether you feed whole black sunflower or husk-free hearts, it is oil-rich, small birds handle it easily and finches will queue for it — and with hearts there is no husk to carpet the ground beneath the feeder, which matters on decking or a patio.

This is the Heritage Everyday sunflower feeder, aluminium in Henry Bell's antique gold and bronze. It sits below the full-size Heritage feeders in scale and price while using the same material and the same finish, so a station can be built up in one look over time.

Performance & Benefits

• Made for sunflower seed and sunflower hearts, the highest-oil food most gardens feed.
• Aluminium construction, so it stays light and does not rust outdoors.
• Antique gold and bronze finish, matching the Heritage collection.
• Easy to fill, clean and maintain.
• Fed with hearts, it leaves no husk debris under the feeder at all.
• Hangs from a feeding station, bird table or a hook on a tree branch.

Suitable For

• Sunflower hearts and sunflower seed.
• Greenfinches, goldfinches, chaffinches, siskins, blue tits, great tits and house sparrows.
• Patios and decking, where husk mess from a mixed seed is unwelcome.
• Cold weather feeding, when the oil content does most good.
• Not the feeder for niger seed, which is much finer and needs a dedicated fine-mesh niger or finch feeder.

How to Use

• Open the lid and fill with sunflower hearts or sunflower seed.
• Hang from a station arm, bird table or branch within a few metres of cover.
• Hearts have no husk to shed water, so fill shallowly in wet spells and top up more often.
• Wash weekly in warm water with a bird-safe hygiene product and dry fully before refilling.
• Tip out any seed that has caked in the base rather than burying it under fresh.
