Scott Pet Sunflower Hearts Hulled Wild Bird Seed — 8 lb No Shells, High-Protein Resealable Bag

Scott Pet Wild Bird Seed Sunflower Hearts is an 8 lb, hulled sunflower blend that delivers high-protein, no-shell feeding to attract a wide variety of backyard birds while minimizing mess.

Bring more color and activity to your yard with a seed formulated for both birds and convenience. These hulled sunflower hearts provide concentrated energy and protein favored by cardinals, finches, chickadees, woodpeckers, and many other species. Because the shells have been removed, birds can eat more efficiently and you spend less time sweeping up debris under feeders. Packaged in a resealable Pour & Lok bag and made in the USA, this product balances nutrition, ease of use, and lasting freshness for everyday feeding.

What makes hulled sunflower hearts different from whole sunflower seed?

Hulled sunflower hearts are the inner kernel of the sunflower seed with the outer shell removed. The removal of shells concentrates the edible portion, increasing the accessible protein and fat per serving for visiting birds. This form also reduces waste and limits the chance of seed hulls littering lawns and patios.

• Higher edible-to-waste ratio: more nutrition per cup for birds
• Less mess: no discarded shells under feeders
• Faster consumption: birds spend less time cracking shells
• Versatile feeding: suitable for tube, platform, and hopper feeders

Which bird species will Scott Pet Sunflower Hearts attract to my yard?

This sunflower hearts blend appeals to a broad range of common backyard species attracted to rich, fatty seeds. Medium- and small-sized songbirds and woodpeckers especially prefer this easy-to-eat kernel. By offering a calorie-dense food, you can encourage repeat visits and longer foraging sessions, increasing viewing opportunities.

• Cardinals and grosbeaks drawn to large, energy-rich kernels
• Finches and siskins that prefer hulled seeds for quick feeding
• Chickadees, nuthatches, and small woodpeckers that feed at mixed feeders
• Jays and sparrows among other backyard visitors seeking high-fat food

How should I store and serve this 8 lb bag to keep it fresh and easy to use?

The product comes in a resealable Pour & Lok bag designed to protect seed from moisture and maintain freshness between feeds. Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from pests and direct sunlight. Use appropriate feeders to maximize accessibility for target species and to limit waste.

• Keep in resealable bag, closed after each use to block moisture
• Store indoors or in a cool shed to prevent spoilage and pests
• Use tube, hopper, or platform feeders suited to hulled seeds
• Clean feeders regularly to prevent buildup and disease

Will using sunflower hearts reduce the time I spend cleaning around feeders?

Yes — because the outer shells are removed, there are far fewer discarded hulls under and around feeders. This reduces visible mess and the frequency of sweeping or raking. Less debris can also help deter rodents that are attracted to spilled shells.

• Minimal hull litter means cleaner feeding areas
• Reduced sweeping and maintenance effort
• Lowered chance of leftover shells attracting pests
• Cleaner environment makes birdwatching more pleasant
