Sunflower seeds for birds: 2 kg bucket

Sunflower seeds are familiar to many seed-eating pet birds and can be offered in a suitable feeding dish or used in a supervised foraging activity. The bucket helps keep the product together at home; close it properly after each use. The seeds can be mixed with other appropriate bird foods, but a bird may pick its favourite pieces first, so observe what is actually eaten.

• Contents: sunflower seeds for birds.
• Weight: 2 kg.
• Container: bucket shown in the listing.
• Use: for compatible seed-eating birds as part of a varied diet.

How to feed and store the seeds

Offer sunflower seeds in moderation because they are naturally high in fat. The correct portion depends on the species, size, activity and overall diet of the bird. They are a seed ingredient, not a complete formulated diet on their own. Provide fresh drinking water every day and clean food dishes regularly. If you need a specific feeding plan, consult an avian veterinarian.

Before serving, inspect the contents and discard seeds that are damp, mouldy or stale. Keep the bucket closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid leaving uneaten seed where it may become contaminated. If you want a specifically sized seed, compare the medium sunflower seeds and large sunflower seeds. Browse other foods in the bird food collection. For a bird with a special diet or selective feeding habits, ask an avian veterinarian to review its overall ration. The Association of Avian Veterinarians offers a way to find professional advice.
