Description


Bakery grade kernels produced from Black Oil Sunflower Seeds for maximum oil content and energy benefit, Johnston & Jeff Sunflower Hearts are also known as dehulled sunflower seeds.

Generally sourced from Europe, Johnson & Jeff ensure that the seeds are not harvested late and therefore have the correct level of acidity. Seeds which are harvested too early will not have a complete seed within the shell, and so this careful timing is imperative in producing a seed of maximal quality. The seeds are screened and graded with only the best reaching sale through Pet Connection, and a laser machine is used to detect any remaining pieces of black husk and ensure uniformity before sale.

Sunflower Seeds are a valuable and nutritious part of the diet of many species of wild bird and contain Calcium, B-Vitamins, Iron, Vitamin E and Potassium. 
To encourage visiting birds to use feeders in your garden, position around 2m away from the closest area of safe cover. This will make sure that your feeder is visible to passing birds, while still offering a feeling of security to birds as they eat, as a safe area to hide is close-by.

Our top tips for encouraging more birds to visit your garden:

  • Consider providing clean, fresh drinking water alongside feeders. You can use a bird bath or a hanging Wild Bird Water Drinker to dispense the water. Providing a source of safe water not only encourages birds to spend more time in your garden, but also helps your local birds to survive, particularly through the Summer and Winter months, when other sources of water can dry up or freeze over and become inaccessible.
  • If birds are visiting your feeders, consider continuing to provide food throughout the year. If local birds recognise your garden as a reliable source of food, they will be more likely to be make a habit of visiting you. Additionally, feeding throughout the year will aid your local wild bird population in the event of temporary food shortages, which can occur in any season.
  • If you are new to feeding birds, please note that it may take some time before birds start to use your feeder.
  • Refill feeders in the early morning, to ensure that there is always food available when birds are looking to eat to replace energy lost through the night.
  • Protect your local bird population by helping to reduce the spread of disease between different birds. All food available to the birds should be fresh and dry; wet food should be discarded on a daily basis, as it can harbour harmful bacteria. Feeders and other areas where birds may gather within your garden, such as bird baths, should be cleaned on a regular basis, using a bird safe cleaning product such as Johnson's Clean 'n' Safe Bird Disinfectant.
