Desert Valley Supply Sunflower Hearts & Chips — 5 lb Resealable Bag, High-Energy No-Mess Wild Bird Food

Desert Valley Premium Sunflower Hearts & Chips are hulled sunflower pieces packed in a resealable 5 lb bag to deliver high-energy, no-mess feeding for backyard birds and wildlife.

Hand-packed on a small scale for freshness, this 5-pound resealable bag contains 100% natural, non-GMO sunflower hearts and chips. The product removes shells, reducing debris and waste under feeders while offering concentrated fats and protein that many backyard species love. Designed for versatility, these hearts and chips fit in a wide range of feeders and are especially useful for attracting cardinals, goldfinches, jays, chickadees, and nuthatches.

What makes these sunflower hearts and chips different from whole seed?

Hulled halves and chips eliminate shells that often litter lawns and feeders, providing a cleaner feeding experience and easier digestion for birds. Because the seed is concentrated, a smaller volume delivers more energy per bite, which is helpful in cold weather or during breeding seasons. The small-batch packing helps preserve aroma and oil content so the product stays appealing longer.

• Hulled to reduce mess and waste under feeders
• Higher fat and protein density versus whole sunflower seed
• Small-batch, resealable packaging for freshness retention
• Non-GMO, no fillers or additives

How should I feed these to backyard birds and what feeders work best?

Sunflower hearts and chips are compatible with tube, tray, hopper, and platform feeders—any setup that can hold small loose seed works well. Because the pieces are shell-free, they're ideal for ground feeding stations and open trays where birds can pick through easily. Refill feeders when about one-quarter empty to keep seed fresh and dry.

• Use in tube, tray, hopper, or platform feeders
• Excellent for ground feeding stations and specialty sunflower trays
• Keep stored in the resealable bag away from heat and moisture
• Refill frequently to reduce spoilage and mold risk

Which species are most likely to visit when I use this sunflower food?

Many common backyard species are attracted to sunflower hearts and chips because of the high oil and protein content. Cardinals, goldfinches, blue jays, chickadees, nuthatches, titmice, and many sparrows readily forage on hulled sunflower pieces. The easy-access format also helps smaller birds that struggle with whole, shelled seeds.

• High appeal to cardinals and goldfinches
• Favored by blue jays, chickadees, and nuthatches
• Accessible to smaller species and juvenile birds
• Attracts a diverse backyard bird community

How should I store and handle this 5 lb resealable bag to keep it fresh?

Keep the resealable bag closed, stored in a cool, dry place and out of direct sunlight to preserve oils and flavor. For longer storage, move unopened or resealed bags to airtight containers or a sealed bin to limit exposure to pests and humidity. Use within a season for best aroma and bird acceptance.

• Store in cool, dry, shaded area away from sunlight
• Use resealable feature after each opening to retain freshness
• For extended storage, place bag inside airtight container
• Inspect seed before use—discard if moist or moldy
