The seed more birds prefer than any other.

If you could only put one seed in your feeder, black oil sunflower seed would be it. Thin-shelled and packed with high-energy fat and protein, black oil sunflower is the universal favorite — attracting more species of wild birds than any other single seed. Chickadees crack them open in seconds. Cardinals carry them off one by one. Woodpeckers, nuthatches, jays, juncos, and finches all flock to it. Fill your feeder once and watch the action begin.

Why Duncraft Black Oil Sunflower?

Duncraft sources only premium-grade black oil sunflower seed. Carefully processed for top quality, this seed offers excellent value with no filler ingredients. That means less mess under your feeder and more value per pound.

  • 100% black oil sunflower seed, no fillers, no waste
  • Thin shells make it easy for small birds to crack open
  • High in fat and protein — essential energy for year-round feeding
  • Attracts the widest variety of backyard birds of any single seed
  • Works in hopper, tube, platform, and tray feeders
  • 5 lb resealable bag for freshness

Birds attracted: Black-capped Chickadees, Northern Cardinals, Blue Jays, Downy Woodpeckers, Hairy Woodpeckers, White-breasted Nuthatches, House Finches, Purple Finches, American Goldfinches, Dark-eyed Juncos, Song Sparrows, Pine Siskins, and many more.

How to feed: Serve in any hopper, tube, platform, or tray feeder. For the cleanest feeding experience, pair with a no-mess feeder tray to catch any dropped shells. Black oil sunflower shells do accumulate under feeders over time — rake or sweep periodically, or switch to our hulled Sunflower Heart Chips for a completely shell-free option.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is black oil sunflower seed and why do birds love it?
Black oil sunflower seed is a small, thin-shelled sunflower variety with a higher oil content than striped sunflower. The thin shell makes it easy for small birds like chickadees and finches to crack open, while the high fat content provides the concentrated energy birds need — especially during cold weather and migration.

What birds does black oil sunflower seed attract?
Black oil sunflower attracts the widest variety of backyard birds of any single seed, including chickadees, cardinals, blue jays, woodpeckers, nuthatches, finches, juncos, sparrows, and grosbeaks. It is considered the universal bird seed by ornithologists and birding experts.

Can I use black oil sunflower seed year-round?
Yes. Black oil sunflower seed is ideal for year-round feeding. In winter it provides critical high-fat energy for birds staying through cold temperatures. In spring and summer it supports nesting birds and fledglings. It is one of the few seeds that attracts both resident and migratory species in every season.

Will black oil sunflower seed sprout in my lawn?
Dropped shells and uneaten seeds can sprout if they reach soil. To prevent sprouting, use a feeder tray to catch shells, rake under your feeder regularly, or switch to our hulled Sunflower Heart Chips, which are 100% edible and will not sprout.

What feeder should I use for black oil sunflower seed?
Black oil sunflower seed works in virtually any feeder — hopper feeders, tube feeders, platform feeders, and open tray feeders. For the best results attracting the widest variety of birds, a hopper or platform feeder gives birds of all sizes comfortable access. Pair with a squirrel-resistant feeder like the Duncraft Squirrel Proof Selective or the Brome Squirrel Buster Plus to keep squirrels from emptying your feeder.

A Beautiful Timepiece at an Awesome Price!!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
I have lusted after this watch for four months. I first tried on a similar model (stainless steel band with a green face) in a local jewelry shop (Spitz Jewlers, Walnut Creek, CA, USA). It was "love at first sight," even if I didn't love the white lines on the face from 12-6 and 3-9. At the time, the MSRP was $775. The MSRP has since increased to $795. But I bought this beauty on Amazon.com for only $524.99; after applying the cash-back from my Prime credit card, this watch costs only $498.75. This was "the offer that I could not refuse," to quote from "The Godfather." Accuracy could be better: after only a few days, it is now 7 seconds behind my phone (to which I set my new watch). But I don't really care about that all that much. This is why I rated "accuracy" at 4 stars, but my overall review is 5 stars. My video shows the date changing suddenly at 11:59:59pm, just how I want it; in another photo, you can see that my Seiko changes the date more slowly, which I do not like. This watch is absolutely phenomenally beautiful. If you're on the fence over whether to make this purchase, then I would say "go for it!" You will not find a prettier, more accurate watch at a lower price in ANY store in the entire USA.

Classy and sporty. Great value!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Excellent watch for the price. Looks sporty and dressy. More towards dress watch. Blue is dynamic. Strongly recommend blue for sporty feel. I was thinking of aqua terra. This come close to it with a price less than what i would have paid my state tax for omega aqua terra. My only concern is bracelet which i feel kind of OK. Better bracelet design would have made this watch much superior. 21 lug width is awful. Other than that, nothing to complain.

Stunning Gentleman's Watch
Color: Grey
This is my second Tissot watch. It's quite stunning in person. The online photos don't do it justice. It has the look and feel of a much more expensive gentleman's watch which makes this purchase a great bargain. Tissot is a great reliable Swiss made watch brand. My first Tissot watch which is probably more than 20 years old still runs great. Very pleased with this purchase.

Good Tissot Watch
Color: Grey
Arrived on time, in its original box, include a 2 year international warranty, into the box include a book with the Tissot brand history in Switzerland. Algo a second book with a whole catalog of Tissot watches men and women. The watch looks better when you put in on your wrist. The “naval” blue really gives the clock a classy look. The stainless steel workmanship is really good, the metal is bright and perfectly polished. The metal wristband quality is very good, did not have any problem to adjust the size , I went to my preferred clock workshop for this job, they extracted a few pieces of the band to fit to my small wrist size. Have to get used to the butterfly latch, but after a few days, now I learned to open and close it without any effort. The clock it’s very accurate, I’ve been using my Tissot for near a month and it just increased a few seconds per week. I do the setup and check accuracy with my pc clock. In short, It”s a good value watch, nice, good looking, accurate.
