All the energy of sunflower seed. None of the shells.
Sunflower heart chips are what you get when you take the most popular bird seed in the world and remove the one thing birds don't need — the shell. What's left is pure, bite-sized sunflower heart, packed with the same high-energy fat and protein birds love, in a form that's easier to eat, easier to digest, and leaves absolutely nothing on the ground. No hulls, no sprouting, no cleanup. Just birds eating every single piece.
Why heart chips instead of whole hearts.
Whole sunflower hearts are excellent but cost more per pound. Sunflower Fine Heart Chips deliver the same nutritional profile at a more economical price point — making them the smart choice for high-volume feeders or anyone who wants to offer premium no-waste feeding without the premium price tag. Birds don't notice the difference. Your feeder stays cleaner. Your budget goes further.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between sunflower heart chips and whole sunflower hearts?
Whole sunflower hearts are the complete, intact kernel removed from the shell. Sunflower Fine Heart Chips are the same kernel broken into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Both are 100% edible with no shells, and both provide the same high-energy nutrition. Heart chips are more economical and easier for smaller birds to handle, while whole hearts are preferred by some larger species that like to carry a seed away to eat.
Will sunflower heart chips sprout in my lawn?
No. Because the seed has been processed and the hull removed, sunflower heart chips cannot germinate. This makes them ideal for feeding on decks, patios, balconies, and anywhere you want to keep the ground clean and weed-free.
What birds eat sunflower heart chips?
Virtually every common feeder bird will eat sunflower heart chips, including chickadees, cardinals, finches, nuthatches, woodpeckers, juncos, titmice, and sparrows. Because there's no shell to crack, even small birds that struggle with whole sunflower seeds can eat heart chips easily.
Are sunflower heart chips good for year-round feeding?
Yes. The high fat and protein content makes sunflower heart chips an excellent year-round food source. In winter, the concentrated energy helps birds maintain body heat. In spring and summer, it supports nesting adults and growing fledglings. It is one of the most universally effective seeds for all-season feeding.
Can I mix sunflower heart chips with other seeds?
Absolutely. Sunflower heart chips blend well with any no-waste seed mix and can be added to blends like Super No-Waste or Peanut Bits & Sunflower Hearts to increase the sunflower content. They also work well as a standalone seed for feeders where you want a single, clean, high-value option.
