Countrywide Striped Sunflower are a premium, high-energy feed primarily used across the UK for cage, aviary, and wild garden birds.
Key Characteristics & Benefits
- Nutrient Dense: Packed with high levels of natural oils, fats, and crude fibre, providing an essential year-round energy source.
- Harder Shells: They feature a thicker, harder outer husk compared to black sunflower seeds. This helps keep birds mentally stimulated and entertained as they peel the husks, though it makes them slower to consume.
Target Species
- Cage & Aviary Birds: A popular daily diet component or enrichment treat for Parrots, Cockatiels, Parakeets, and Large Parakeets.
- Wild Garden Birds: Attracts strong-billed species capable of cracking the hulls, such as Greenfinches, Great Tits, Blue Tits, Chaffinches, and Nuthatches.
- Small Pets: Can also be fed as an occasional high-energy treat for small animals like Hamsters and Gerbils.
Feeding Tips
- Feeder Type: Best served in a standard seed tube feeder with large ports, on a bird table, or in a ground tray. Avoid fine-mesh feeders.
- Debris: Be prepared for leftover husks to accumulate beneath your feeding areas. Using a seed catcher tray can help manage the mess
