Black Oil Sunflower
Black oil sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus) are one of the most sought-after offerings for wild bird feeders, due to their high oil content which helps birds remain warm during colder conditions and migration.
A ground feeder is a staple for backyard bird feeders, and is the best way to attract ground feeding birds like doves and robins.
Hulled black oil seeds make a much cleaner choice than their striped sunflower counterparts and are easier for small songbirds to open than sunflower seeds, yet can quickly go rancid if left sitting around for too long – therefore it is essential that they be purchased fresh!
Black oil sunflower seeds provide your rabbit with protein, fiber, calcium, vitamin E and potassium – essential elements in their molting season diets! But be careful not to overfeed black oil sunflower seeds so as to prevent your pet becoming overweight.
Nyjer Seed
Thin black seed is a favorite among finches and other small backyard birds, providing energy-rich food sources like goldfinches and house finches that need energy-rich fuel sources for active birds like them.
Nyjer seeds are tiny and delicate, which makes them the ideal food source for small bird species with pointed bills. Many times these birds feed from feeders clinging to them or hanging upside-down for added bird watching fun in your backyard!
Before being shipped to the United States, nyjer seed must first be treated and sterilized using heat in order to avoid it germinating or turning into weeds in your garden – one reason for why nyjer is more costly than other wild bird foods.
To attract Nyjer-loving finches, hang your feeder in an open area so the seeds will be visible. Additionally, regularly check it for oil stains and replace any seeds which become stale.
Safflower
Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) is a flowering plant widely grown for its seeds and oil. Although native to Middle East and North Africa, today it can be found throughout the world as an annual crop. Safflower oil can be used for cooking as well as margarine production – with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties also reported by users.
Safflower boasts many health advantages, but one such benefit stands out: It contains high amounts of linoleic acid which has been proven to reduce inflammation and prevent heart disease. Furthermore, this rich source may also help lower cholesterol, prevent blood clots and lower high blood pressure.
Safflower can also be used as a natural skin moisturizer and promoter, and hair growth booster. Safflower oil penetrates deeply into the scalp to deliver vitamins and minerals directly where they’re needed; helping improve circulation while soothing a dry flaky scalp. Furthermore, recent research indicates safflower may contain anti-inflammatories which may assist with treating acne, dermatitis and psoriasis.
