Black Sunflower SeedsIn back gardens everywhere, when it comes to feeding the birds, black sunflower seeds are fast becoming the food of choice, far out-stripping sales of its nearest rival, the peanut and proving phenomenally popular with both our feathered friends and wild bird enthusiasts alike. From a purely economic point of view, black sunflower seeds are probably one of the most cost-effective ways of feeding wild birds and a credible alternative to the rocketing prices of other more traditional foodstuffs. With its protein-rich kernel and high-oil content, even the birds would probably agree that they are getting more bang for their buck. Here at Pets Pantry we aim to cater for every budget and bird table from the very practical Bumper Bell to the great value for money 13kg sacks. And as its reputation as something of a super food continues to gain momentum, black sunflower seeds are regarded as being more nutritious than any other variety, have a greater ratio of nutmeat to shell, are high in fibre and contain vitamins B and E as well as iron, potassium and zinc. Packed with energy and calorie laden oils(which waterproof the feathers),when fed regularly, black sunflower seeds will help wild birds survive the coldest and wettest months , but its versatility is such that it may easily be fed all year round. And used in seed feeders, on bird tables or on the ground, black sunflower seeds have a universal appeal, attracting many species of wild bird such as chaffinch, house sparrow, gold finch, greenfinch, blue tits and siskin. The relatively thin husks also make it easy for soft bills like robins to access the kernels and enjoy the same benefits as their garden counterparts! So for a superb choice of black sunflower seeds visit Pets Pantry and make every day a feed-the- birds day!
