Michigan Black Oil Sunflower Seeds

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service endorses black-oil sunflower seeds as the #1 choice for most wild birds, and it is a pretty sure bet that your feathered backyard visitors would agree wholeheartedly. Black-oil sunflower has a very high percentage of meat, making it a super-nutritious source of high-quality protein for all wild birds. Michigan black oil sunflower seeds have a softer outer shell making them ideal for the smaller birds like chickadees, nuthatches and finches. Black oil sunflower seeds offer an added bonus in that they have a very high concentration of oil; birds spread the oil throughout their feathers, allowing them to stay dry, warm and cozy in the harsher winter months. Don’t you want to give the very best home-grown Michigan black oil sunflower seed to all your bird friends?

Black oil sunflower seed is without a doubt the most crucial seed for any backyard bird feeding program; when given a selection of seeds, many more species of birds prefer black oil sunflower seeds. Locally grown Michigan black oil sunflower seeds from Uncle Luke’s will keep your backyard birds happy and healthy, most especially during the cold dark days of winter.

Love Your Chickadees—Then Feed Them the Best!

Consider this: Chickadees and nuthatches are famous for stashing away the precious Michigan black oil sunflower seeds to eat later. They typically put them under tree bark, or some other little nook, then when the harsh winter days arrive they have their carefully hidden high-quality seeds to see them through. Studies have shown that the chickadees actually grow additional brain cells for the winter—just to keep up with their hiding sites for black oil sunflower seeds! They even seem to know exactly how many seeds are in each little cranny and will become extremely agitated should they find bird or squirrel thieves have discovered their stash and stolen seeds in their absence.
