Feeding & Storage Tips
- Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place to keep it fresh and pest-free. Shelled seed spoils faster than seed in the shell.
- In hot, humid weather, put out only what your birds finish in a day or two.
- Keep it dry in the feeder; a weather dome or drainage holes help.
- Larger kernels suit cardinals and grosbeaks on platforms and hoppers.
FAQ
Will it sprout under my feeder?
Very little. The kernels are hulled, and with no shells there's nothing left to rake up.
Will squirrels eat it?
Yes, squirrels like sunflower. Use a squirrel-resistant feeder such as a Squirrel Buster, or add a baffle.
Coarse, medium or fine: which should I buy?
Coarse suits bigger birds on platforms and hoppers. Medium works in most feeders; Fine fits small-port finch feeders.
How long does it stay fresh?
Kept sealed, cool and dry, it stays fresh for weeks. In summer heat, offer smaller amounts more often.
Tip: For an all-purpose feeder, try Medium Sunflower Hearts; for peanuts too, try Kracker Jax.
