Medium sunflower seeds for birds

Sunflower seeds can be offered in a feeding dish, mixed with other appropriate bird foods or used in a supervised foraging activity. Many seed-eating birds enjoy handling and opening the shells. The right seed size depends on the species and the individual bird. This page identifies the pack as a medium seed size; it does not describe them as pellets or a complete formulated food.

• Weight: 2 kg.
• Seed type: medium shell-on variety.
• Use: suitable for compatible seed-eating birds and parrots.
• Storage: reseal after use and keep cool and dry.

Serving and storage

Sunflower seeds are high in fat, so serve moderate amounts as part of a varied feeding plan rather than relying on them as your bird’s only food. Offer fresh drinking water every day. A bird’s portion depends on its size, species, activity and other foods, so ask an avian veterinarian if you need an individual nutrition plan. Observe your bird’s intake, especially if it tends to select sunflower seeds and leave other food.

Inspect the seeds for dampness, mould or a stale smell before serving. Close the package firmly after opening or transfer the contents to a clean, sealed container away from heat, direct sunlight and humidity. To compare seed sizes, see our large sunflower seeds. When comparing sizes, consider how easily your bird handles the shell and how its overall ration is composed. The Association of Avian Veterinarians can help you find advice for an individual bird.
