Striped Sunflower Bird Seed

Our Striped Sunflower Seeds are a traditional favourite among many much-loved garden birds. Naturally rich in oil and packed with essential nutrients, they provide high levels of energy to keep birds healthy, active, and thriving throughout the year. With a calorific value of 496 kcal per 100g, these seeds are one of the most energy-dense foods you can offer in your garden, especially valuable during colder months or busy breeding periods.

Unlike sunflower hearts, striped sunflower seeds retain their outer shell, which birds must crack open to reach the kernel inside. This small challenge makes feeding more engaging and natural, encouraging birds to spend more time around your feeders. They’re particularly popular with species that have strong, sturdy beaks such as Greenfinches, Great Tits, and Nuthatches, but you’ll often see other curious visitors joining in once they discover them.

These seeds are perfect for use in seed feeders, on bird tables, or scattered directly on the ground. Their versatility means they can fit into any feeding routine, whether you’re offering a daily top-up or introducing your garden to bird feeding for the first time. With regular feeding, you’ll soon notice birds returning time and again to this reliable, natural food source.
