Sunflower Hearts & Chips Wild Bird Food — 5 lb Bag
Product description
Shell-free sunflower hearts and chip pieces — packaged as a 5-pound bag of dehulled sunflower kernels and broken sunflower pieces for minimal yard debris and zero shell waste.
Formulated to appeal to a range of small backyard species including finches, chickadees, sparrows, grosbeaks, flickers, titmice and nuthatches. The product is entirely consumable: there are no shells to scatter, which helps keep feeding areas cleaner and reduces waste.
Suitable for use in hopper, tube and platform feeders, the chips and hearts are easy for small bills to handle. The blend is produced by a family-owned, American operation with decades of experience in wild bird nutrition; the 5-lb sack is ready to pour into feeders or mix into homemade wildlife blends.
Pros
- No shells — much less mess to clean up
- Highly consumable for many small-bird species
- Compatible with hopper, tube and platform feeders
Cons
- May attract squirrels or ground foragers
- Some birds prefer whole seeds instead
- 5-pound bag may require frequent refills for busy feeders
VerdictThis 5-pound pack of dehulled sunflower hearts and chips delivers a tidy, highly consumable seed option for backyard feeding. It reduces husk mess, works in most feeder types and attracts many small birds, though it can interest squirrels and won’t satisfy birds that prefer intact seeds.

My chickadees, titmice and cardinals flock to this; chickadees especially seem to prefer it. I'll buy again.

No waste around the garden
No shells to sweep up; finches, towhees, quail and doves clean up any spillover. No problems with sprouting—great for garden use.

Mixed results here
A few of my birds ignored it, though squirrels ate the rest. The product looks nutritious and high quality, but my flock prefers other treats.

Handy for DIY mixes
Used in homemade wildlife blends with peanuts and walnuts. Stayed fresh, reduced shell mess, and wildlife enjoyed the variety.

Perfect for bantams and quail
Bought these for my bantam chickens and quail. The chip size is easy for them to peck, my hens gobble them up, and they’re a convenient alternative to whole seeds.
