Sunflower Seed

Sunflower seed is the most popular bird food in North America. Rustic Feathers™ offers black oil sunflower and sunflower blends that attract cardinals, chickadees, finches, titmice and nuthatches.

Why Feed Sunflower Seed

  • Attracts the most species: A favorite of most backyard songbirds.
  • High oil content: Energy-rich food for cold weather.
  • Easy-crack shells: Thin shells suit small-beaked birds.
  • Works in most feeders: Tube, hopper and platform feeders.

Types of Sunflower Seed

Black Oil Sunflower

Thin shells and high oil make it the best all-around choice.

Sunflower Hearts

Hulled kernels mean no shells under feeders.

Striped Sunflower

Larger, thicker shells favored by bigger birds like jays.

Tips for Success

Use a seed tray to catch shells, or switch to sunflower hearts for a no-mess option near patios. You may also like our Seed, Sunflower/Mixed Tube Feeders and Food.
