Black sunflower seed is very high in oil and considered an excellent supplement for many animals including sheep, goats and poultry. Given in small amounts it can make coats shiny and help animals gain weight. Due to the very high fat content, rations should be kept small and no more than 1/3 of the animal's usual diet.
The seed may also be sown but as it is not specifically bred for planting, it will not have a high germination rate.

If you specifically require a particular carrier, please check with us prior to committing to purchase to ensure that our shipping service can accommodate your request. Very large and bulky orders cannot be sent via Australia Post, for instance. Similarly, courier companies cannot deliver to PO Boxes or Parcel Lockers. If you are happy for your delivery to be left in a safe place please indicate this by providing instructions at check out. Without these instructions, couriers will generally leave a card for you to make contact to arrange alternative delivery. If you do not respond to a delivery card within 7 days, the item will automatically be returned to sender. In these instances a redelivery fee will need to be paid if you wish to have the item redelivered.

If you require an item quickly please contact us to upgrade your shipping to an express service. Shipping costs can be discounted if you are purchasing multiple items.

Pick ups are available by request from our warehouse on the NSW mid north coast. Pickups are only available during warehouse open hours and not after hours or at weekends or public holidays.
Please choose carefully as we do not offer returns if you have simply changed your mind, found the product cheaper elsewhere, or decided you don't like or need the product. Returns are also not accepted if you have misused a product and have caused or contributed to the failure of the goods, for example, by damaging or misusing the goods. If we have made a mistake and sent you an incorrect item, we will arrange to have it returned to us and provide the correct item to you. We may offer you the option to keep the incorrect goods at a discount. If an item is damaged or faulty, please contact us via messages in the first instance, supplying a description of the problem and photos if possible. We may request that you return the item to us for inspection: in these cases, you are responsible for the cost of postage to return the item. You may opt to take a repair, replacement or refund, depending on the outcome of our investigations.

Select the registered shipping option to add insurance to your order which provides for replacements.
Grey stripe sunflower seeds are lower in oil and fat than black sunflowers and so are generally considered a better option for birds, particularly if they are not very active.
The seed comes in a variety of different size packs.
The seed may also be sown but as it is not specifically bred for planting, it will not have a high germination rate.
