Henry Bell Sunflower Hearts Wild Bird Food 4kg

Henry Bell Sunflower Hearts – 4kg

Sunflower hearts are shelled sunflower seed with the husk already taken off, which is why they are the default seed for anyone who feeds birds seriously. Nothing is left under the feeder but the odd fragment — no drift of black husk on the patio, no dead ring on the lawn — and the birds get the whole kernel without the work of opening it.

They are also the most energy-dense straight food you can put on a bird table: Henry Bell declare 60.0% crude fat and 19.8% crude protein. At 4kg this bag suits a garden running one or two hanging feeders steadily through the year rather than a single feeder filled occasionally.

Performance & Benefits

• 100% sunflower hearts, husk removed, so there is no mess beneath the feeder.
• Crude fat 60.0% and crude protein 19.8% — the most energy-dense straight seed Henry Bell pack.
• No husk means no waste weight: the whole 4kg is edible.
• Taken by a wider range of species than any other single seed.
• Feeds from a tube seed feeder, a bird table or a ground tray.
• Supplied in 100% recyclable packaging.

Suitable For

• Robin, chaffinch, blue tit, coal tit, great tit, tree sparrow, greenfinch, goldfinch, wren and greater spotted woodpecker.
• Tube seed feeders, bird tables and ground trays.
• Paved gardens and lawns where seed husks would otherwise build up.
• Year-round feeding, and especially the winter and the moult.
• Not a complete diet on its own — pair it with a suet feed such as Henry Bell Superior Fat Balls in hard weather, and with whole peanuts for the tits and nuthatches.

Feeding

• Fill a tube seed feeder, scatter on a bird table, or put a shallow tray of hearts on the ground.
• Keep feeding steady once you start — birds learn a reliable garden and come to depend on it.
• Clear out wet or spoiled hearts. With no husk to protect them they go off faster than seed in shell.
• Clean feeders and tables regularly and keep fresh water available for drinking and bathing.
• Made for feeding wild birds only. Not for human consumption.
