During cold winter months, energy expenditure is high and food availability in nature is limited. This 2 kg bag of high oil content black sunflower seeds offers a practical solution to support the survival of garden birds. The seeds contain abundant protein and fiber, but most importantly – a large amount of fat, which is the primary source of thermal energy for small garden birds. Regular supplementary feeding with these seeds significantly increases the survival chances of tits, bullfinches, and other species, especially during frosty weather.
Usage and Cultivation Instructions:
-
Usage in tube and hopper feeders: Long, narrow tube feeders are ideal for smaller birds (e.g., tits), preventing access by larger birds.
-
Hopper feeders, however, hold more seeds at once, and their roofs offer good protection from precipitation.
-
Fill feeders according to how quickly birds consume the food.
Tips and Recommendations:
-
Diverse Menu: To attract various bird species to your garden, mix sunflower seeds with, for example, peanuts or fat balls.
-
Until Spring: Winter supplementary feeding is an obligation that continues until consistently warm weather arrives. Do not leave the bird feeder unexpectedly empty.
