Sunflower Seeds for Birds
In order to produce our high-quality sunflower seeds and hearts, we grow our very own sunflowers right here on the farm. Every part of the production process is overseen by the Really Wild Bird Food team, from sowing through to harvesting, cleaning and packaging.
Sunflower seeds are great for birds because they're an oil-rich source of protein, vitamins and minerals. Sunflower hearts are the centre of sunflower seeds with the husk removed. Like sunflower seeds, sunflower hearts are a high-oil, nutrient-dense snack beloved by all manner of wild birds (including blackbirds, chaffinches, woodpeckers, and robins).
We offer a fantastic selection of sunflower seeds for birds, as well as tasty seed mixes that combine our sunflower seeds with other products to give your feathered friends a more balanced meal. All of our sunflower seeds are grown right here in the UK, and we offer FREE DELIVERY on all seeds and feeds!

Home-Grown Sunflower Seeds for Birds
We grow our own sunflowers right here at Street End Farm, which means that we can offer you fully traceable, home-grown black sunflower seeds of the highest cleanliness and quality.
We sow our sunflower seeds in May, and harvest the heads in October. Once harvested, the seeds are triple-cleaned on the farm. Click here to learn more about how we produce sunflower seeds for your garden birds.
Are sunflower seeds good for garden birds?
Yes - black sunflower seeds are a favourite food of many garden birds, who crack open the thin seed coat to access the oil-rich kernel.
Sunflower hearts (the sunflower seeds minus the black outer husks) are also very popular. They offer a readily-available source of energy, and they don't leave behind any messy husks under your bird feeders!
What is the difference between sunflower seeds and sunflower hearts?
Sunflower hearts are simply sunflower seeds with the husk removed, meaning they don’t leave as much mess under your feeding station. Sunflower hearts are high in essential oils and fats, making them the perfect snack for wild birds in the winter months.
We stock several bird feeders that are specifically designed for sunflower seeds and sunflower hearts, including seed trays and bird feeding tables - visit our Bird Seed Feeders page to see what we have to offer.
