Henry Bell Essentials Pre Filled Sunflower Hearts Feeder Wild Bird Food Feeder Ready to Hang

Henry Bell Ready to Feed Sunflower Hearts Feeder – 220g

Sunflower hearts are sunflower seeds with the husk already taken off, and that single fact explains why they are the most useful thing to hang in a garden. Nothing is discarded, so there is no carpet of black husks under the feeder, and small birds get the oil-rich kernel without having to work for it — which matters most in cold weather when every calorie counts.

This feeder comes filled with 220g of Henry Bell hearts and hangs straight out of the packaging. Henry Bell describe it as reusable and easily refillable, so once the first fill has gone it stays in service as a standard hearts or seed feeder.

Performance & Benefits

• Supplied filled with 220g of Henry Bell sunflower hearts, ready to hang.
• Husk-free, so there is no shell debris building up beneath the feeder.
• Every gram is edible, so a fill of hearts goes further than the same weight of whole sunflower seed.
• High in oil, which is exactly what small birds need through winter nights.
• Reusable and refillable once empty, rather than thrown away.

Suitable For

• Greenfinches, goldfinches, chaffinches, siskins, blue tits, great tits and house sparrows.
• Paved gardens, decking and balconies, where husks under a feeder are a nuisance.
• Anyone starting out, or adding a second feeder to an existing station.
• Refilling with hearts or a seed mix from then on.
• Not the feeder for goldfinches you are trying to draw with niger — niger seed is far finer and needs a dedicated fine-mesh niger feeder.

Feeding

• Unwrap and hang from a branch, a hook or a feeding station arm; the 220g of hearts is already in.
• Site it near cover but not against it, so birds have an escape route without giving a cat a launch point.
• Refill through the lid with sunflower hearts or a seed mix once the level drops.
• Hearts have no husk to shed water, so keep the fill shallow in wet spells and top up more often.
• Keep fresh water available nearby.
