Black sunflower seeds in a smaller 1 kg package are a practical and nutritious choice if you wish to begin winter supplemental feeding for garden and wild birds. High-oil black seeds offer an indispensable food supplement for overwintering birds, helping them cope with harsh weather conditions. The rich fat, protein, and fiber content within the seeds provides the birds with the energy necessary for daily survival and helps maintain vital body heat. Additionally, the seeds are full of minerals that ensure the normal functioning of the birds’ organisms throughout the cold period. This package size is a convenient solution for a balcony or a smaller city garden.
Usage and Cultivation Instructions:
-
Feeder selection: Offer seeds from a platform, tube, or hopper feeder.
-
Platform feeders are sideless and flat, allowing birds the quickest access to food.
-
Ensure that the food is located in a place protected from rain and snow.
-
Storage: Store the opened package in a dry, cool room protected from rodents.
Tips and recommendations:
-
Continuous feeding: Once you have started supplemental feeding for birds, you must continue without interruption until spring. Birds accustomed to the food may perish if the food supply runs out.
-
Keep the feed dry: Regularly check that the food in the birdhouse has not become wet or started to mold, which is dangerous for birds.
