Sunflower Seeds A

Sunflower seeds are a nutritious snack packed with protein, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and fiberfor birds. They are also affordable and widely available, making them a popular choice for bird feeders.

Here are some benefits of sunflower seeds for birds:

• Energy

Sunflower seeds are rich in calories and protein, allowing birds to meet their energy needs without frequent feeding. This is especially crucial during winter when they require more energy to stay warm. During the breeding season, sunflower seeds also provide an extra energy boost to help birds care for their young.

• Body Temperature
  

The healthy fats in sunflower seeds help birds maintain their body temperature and store fat to stay warm.

• Feathers, Skin, and Beaks

Sunflower seeds contain essential oils that help birds maintain their feathers, skin, and beaks.

• Immune system
  

Sprouted sunflower seeds are packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins B and E, calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium, which help support a strong immune system.

• Muscle, Tissue, and Feather Growth

Sprouted sunflower seeds are rich in protein and provide all the essential amino acids birds need to develop strong muscles, healthy tissues, and well-formed feathers.

Different types of sunflower seeds are available to suit the needs of various bird species. For example, finches, sparrows, and nuthatches enjoy sunflower seeds. However, cockatoos should not consume too many sunflower seeds as they are high in fat.
