🌻 What is striped sunflower seed?
-
Striped sunflower seeds are the grey-ish “snack” variety (often called grey or white-striped), as opposed to the solid-black “oil” sunflower seeds
-
They’re moderately oily (less than black oil types), but with a high meat-to-shell ratio—making them appealing to many backyard wild birds
🐦 Bird & Parrot Appeal
-
Birds love them: They’re suitable for a wide variety of backyard birds, and are also commonly used for parrots and cockatiels, making for a great treat
-
Balanced oil content: Less oily than black oil seeds, making them cleaner to handle—especially for indoor or aviary birds
✅ How They Compare to Black-Oil Seeds
Seed Type | Oil Content | Preferred By | Shell | Typical Use |
---|---|---|---|---|
Striped | Moderate | Small birds, parrots | Grey/white striped | Backyard feeding, pet birds |
Black-oil | High | Many wild species | Solid black | Geared toward wild birds, oil extraction |
Striped seeds tend to produce less hull and mess, and are often more convenient for feeders around the house
