Mar 14th, 2008 by Birdy Trish
Sunflower hearts are eaten by a lot of birds including
- Blackbird
- Blue Tit
- Chaffinch
- Coal Tit
- Dunnock
- Goldfinch
- Great Tit
- Greenfinch
- House Sparrow
- Robin
- Starling
- Woodpecker
Sunflower hearts are not eated by the
- Song thrush
- Collared dove
Sunflower hearts are a good alternative to peanuts.
I don’t want to feed starlings because they arrive in such a big swarm and completely take over everything. This is what happened in August last year
Yet, I do want to feed the song thrush, so will have to keep putting out the cheese and songbird bird food mix just for the song thrush.
I get four or five blackbirds visiting my garden for bird food most days. Plus I get a lot of other birds as well that flit on and off the bird feeders and bird table.
I mention the blackbirds because they hop about the grass and seem to stay a while so I notice them more. I managed to get a photo of one the other day as it was resting in the hedge after eating the bird food -
