Let's Learn More About Our Premium Black Oil Sunflower Seeds

A favorite of almost all seed-eating birds, your feathered friends will happily fill up on our Premium Oil Sunflower bird seed. It's a great source of energy for the birds and 99% free of sticks, stems or other foreign matter so your feeders won't clog with debris.

Oil sunflower has a high calorie/ounce ratio due to its high fat and protein content and its relatively thin shell. Among seed ingredients, oil sunflower attracts the greatest variety of small and large seed-eating birds. Fill your feeders with this top-grade fuel, and watch the birds flock!

 

A Favourite To Cache

Each fall, chickadees begin caching seeds by the thousands. By storing seeds, they ensure they will have something to eat during harsh weather and when natural foods become scarce in the future.

In a behavior called scatter hoarding (which is one of the types of caching), each seed they collect is individually hidden in a unique location. They prefer to cache black oil sunflower seeds; often eating a small portion before hiding it in and under bark, dead leaves, knotholes, clusters of pine needles, gutters, shingles and in the ground. Chickadees cache more in the middle of the day when visiting feeders, and have the extraordinary ability to accurately remember the location of each and every one of the seeds they hide for months to come!
