SUNFLOWER SEEDS IN 2025: Please note the size of sunflower seeds in 2025 will be smaller than usual but still just as nutritious and tasty! The poor weather conditions in 2024 have resulted in the worst sunflower harvest in Europe for over 10 years. The decreased yield but large demand is forcing wholesale prices to rise with further increases expected throughout 2025.

Sunflower Hearts are loved by more varieties of garden birds than any other seed! Making them an ideal choice to feed in most gardens across the UK. Our Sunflower Hearts are a high energy, calorie dense food source for wild birds and are of bakery grade quality.

Sunflower Hearts are dehulled sunflower seeds, meaning they can be eaten by all birds, including soft billed birds like the Robin or Blackbird. Being husk free also means sunflower hearts are a great no mess seed for a tidy garden.

We use sunflower hearts as a base in most of our mixes as they are a real favourite and are a highly nutritious seed containing around 60% oil.

Delivery:

Staying true to why we started Peckamix, we still make all our bird food to order in small batches and process it all by hand. This means your bird food is as fresh as possible and hasn't been sat in a warehouse for months. This does however mean we are unlikely to despatch your order same day as we need to make it for you! Please allow 3-5 days for your order to arrive.

Orders over £40 qualify for free delivery to most parts of the UK Mainland. Postcode exclusions apply, details can be found here.

For orders under £40 there is a £3.95 delivery charge.

Returns:

You have the right to return any unwanted goods up to a maximum period of 30 days after you receive the goods. If you cancel your order after it has been dispatched, you are responsible for returning the goods at your own expense.

They arrived well packaged & quickly
They seem OK to me & are whole not scraps but I have never ordered just the Sunflower Hearts before always a mix so have nothing to compare them.
The birds took a while to get used to them but are feeding again now. I fear I may have bought too many at once as they last longer than the seed mixes because of less waste.
All in all I am happy with my purchase & will buy again from here as long as they keep prices reasonable.

The website mentions that sunflower hearts are smaller this year due to the weather last year. This is the case, but despite the slightly smaller size they are still suitable for a typical sunflower hearts feeder and the birds most certainly can’t get enough of them.
