- Price
- $15
If you want to attract more birds to your backyard, black oil sunflower seed is the place to start. It's the most widely loved seed among wild birds — cardinals, chickadees, finches, woodpeckers, and dozens more can't get enough of it. Whether you're an experienced backyard birder or just setting up your first feeder, this is the seed that delivers results. It also makes a thoughtful, practical gift for any nature lover.
🌻 Features
- 🐦 Universally Loved: Attracts the widest variety of wild birds of any single seed type — cardinals, jays, woodpeckers, nuthatches, titmice, chickadees, grosbeaks, finches, juncos, doves, and more.
- 💧 Higher Oil Content: Black oil sunflower seeds contain more natural fat than striped sunflower, making them a richer, more energy-dense food source for birds.
- 🐚 Thinner, Easier-to-Crack Shells: The shells are smaller and thinner than striped sunflower, so even smaller birds can open them with ease.
- 🧹 Less Mess: Thinner shells mean less shell debris left behind at your feeder and on the ground below.
- 🌿 Single Ingredient: Pure black oil sunflower seed — nothing added, nothing artificial.
- 📦 Feeder Flexible: Works in tube feeders, tray or platform feeders, fly-through feeders, and hopper feeders.
✅ Benefits
- 🎯 More Birds, More Often: Because so many species love black oil sunflower, you'll see more activity at your feeder than with almost any other seed.
- ⚡ Real Nutrition for Wildlife: With 40% fat, 16% protein, and 20% carbohydrates, this seed gives birds the fuel they need — especially during colder months.
- 🙌 Easy for All Bird Sizes: The thin shells make it accessible to small songbirds and large birds alike, so no visitor goes away hungry.
- 🎁 A Gift Worth Giving: A bag of premium black oil sunflower seed is a genuinely useful gift for birders, gardeners, and anyone who loves a little wildlife in their backyard.

About Flawn Seed Kits
Join the Flowering Lawn Revolution!
Tired of constant mowing, watering, and fertilizing? Flawn Seed Kits offers a simple, beautiful alternative: flowering lawns that are low-maintenance, eco-friendly, and pollinator-friendly. By transforming your traditional turf into a vibrant mix of clover and low-growing wildflowers, you can reduce your carbon footprint, improve soil health, and support the environment—right from your own backyard.
Our Roots
Flawn Seed Kits is a small, family-run business based in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Founded by horticulturist and lawn care expert Anthony Nied, our mission is to improve quality of life and environmental health by eliminating harmful lawn chemicals and bringing pollinators back to our yards.
Anthony’s journey started in 2010, working in conventional lawn care. After realizing the dangers of daily exposure to toxic pesticides, he knew he had to make a change. “When I couldn’t hug my kids after work because I was covered in chemicals, I knew there had to be a better way,” he recalls.
That better way became Safe & Simple Organic Lawns, focused on soil health and organic practices. In 2018, Anthony began experimenting with clover and native flowers to naturally enrich lawns. The results were undeniable: healthier lawns, less maintenance, and a buzzing return of butterflies and bees.
Our Mission
At Flawn Seed Kits, we're on a mission to:
Reduce chemical use in lawn care
Support pollinators and biodiversity
Cut carbon emissions and resource waste
Make lawn care simpler and safer for people, pets, and the planet
With Anthony’s background in horticulture and business, and the support of his family, Flawn Seed Kits has grown into a nationally recognized brand—available in hundreds of stores and trusted by eco-conscious homeowners across the U.S.
