Buying 40 lb of these seeds. Birds really like them (unfortunately squirrels do too)

Just noticed the French for sunflowers - how appropriate!
Those birds will be queuing up!

Lovely that you are keeping the birds alive Klahanie, we do the same, buy in large quantities, but as you say it's expensive, then we haven't any pets at home, so we treat the wildlife as our pets.

All the birds here love the sunflowers too!

No Klahanie, I buy them from a farm shop near here.

We also buy large sacks of sunflower seeds from a farm outlet much cheaper than stores but still expensive ...

Our garden birds are given sunflower hearts ... the price varies a great deal from place to place. It really is a pleasure to watch the birds feeding ... :o)

We stopped feeding the birds sunflower hearts last summer..we felt awful but it was attracting so many wood pigeons! The feeder was above the steps to nowhere close to the back patio. It was so messy. Poo everywhere! Plus they were trodding all over the plants and causing broken stems etc.
We still have our peanut feeder at the pergola. Lots of tits, sparrows and the robins. We see the ground feeders, blackies, dunnocks and others mooching around.

I try not to work out how much feeding the birds costs us over the year. It's certainly getting much more expensive than it used to be.
