Our Favorite Black Oil Sunflower Seeds

Black oil sunflower seeds are a favorite among most seed-eating songbirds and will attract a wide variety of species.

What is the difference between black oil and ordinary striped sunflowers seeds?

Black oil sunflower seeds have a high energy return to expense ratio, having twice the calories per pound than striped. Because of its smaller size and thin shell, it is easier to open for a wider variety of birds than the larger, thicker-shelled striped sunflower. So less energy is spent to reap the rewards of a high-fat, energy-packed morsel. An excellent wild bird food choice. Black Oil Sunflower Seeds

We like these Premium Black Oil Sunflower Seeds because they are freshly produced from the Red River Valley and have not been sitting on a warehouse shelf for who knows how long. Also a portion of the proceeds will be donated to wildlife habitat and conservation.

Why We Love eBirdseed.com

We use eBirdseed.com  for our wild bird food source because they have free, fast shipping, a large, high-quality selection of seed and have superb customer service (when I had a question one of the owners, Gordon, responded to my email in minutes).

In addition, eBirdseed.com works directly with farmers, grower co-ops and seed processors to deliver the freshest and most nutritious bird seed. This isn't the cheap seed at your local discount store that been sitting in a warehouse, has lost most of its nutritional value and is full of "filler" seed that birds don't like.
