Ultra Clean Black Oil Sunflower Seed
Black oil sunflower seed is one of the best and easiest ways to attract songbirds to your feeders, whether as whole seeds, hulled chips or as a mix. Sunflower seeds contain high levels of proteins, fats, calcium, vitamin b-complex (Vitamin B6), Vitamin E and Potassium for maximum enjoyment!
Black oil sunflower seeds differ from their striped cousins in that they boast higher oil contents and thinner shells, making them easier for small birds such as cardinals, chickadees, nuthatches and pine siskins to crack open. They’re especially beloved among cardinals, chickadees, nuthatches and pine siskins.
To grow sunflowers at home, begin by sowing the seeds when soil temperatures have warmed and all threat of frost has passed. Staggering plantings over multiple weeks will ensure a constant supply of fresh birdseed throughout the season – perfect for offering in hopper, platform or tray feeders or scattering directly on the ground for birds such as doves and robins!
