Hi, 

I was looking for the cheapest sunflower hearts for wild birds. in my efforts I came up with this as being the cheapest at £27, or £1.35 per kilo now sold out.
Sunflower Hearts 20kg Bag | Low Prices | My Pets Supply  
But they had nothing I wanted for £3.01 to get free delivery.  I was going to get cat food but their cat food was too expensive compared with other shops 
Arden Grange adult £22 vs £18 in Pets at Home

I also found this shop selling the same for £27.50  
Buy Bird Food Online: Nuts & Seed MIxes For Wild Birds | Free P&P (littlepeckers.co.uk)

I would probably have ordered from either of these guys with some bird suet feed to get free delivery.

But, today in Home Bargains I found 12.6Kg sunflower Hearts for £16.99 = £1.35 per kilo 
I bought these today - that is a really good price.  

Home Bargains also have 1kg of meal worms £10

    Thanks. What's the quality like? I've found a lot of bags are full of what might more accurately be called sunflower heart crumbs. Had difficulty finding stock locally. Resorted to some in B&Q that were three times your price, but I have to say they're great quality, and the pair of collared doves who wait for me every morning love them.

    Looks good quality mostly whole, and less than 1% still have shell remnants.

    Thank you for the updated information - hopefully anyone looking for sunflower seeds will find it useful. 

    And welcome to the forum :)
