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.

Amazing Wallet!
This is a great wallet. I searched through many styles with similar features, but most did not have the pull down side lever to lift the cards. That feature is exactly why I chose this one. The leather feels high quality and not cheap at all. It is very durable. The money clip is extremely tight and holds cash securely with no risk of anything slipping out. I also wanted a wallet that still opens to display a driver’s license and daily use cards while remaining slim, and this one checks every box. It is compact but holds a surprising amount. My husband absolutely loves it and he is very picky about wallets. There are multiple slots not only for cards but also for holding papers or notes. There is even an additional slot behind the money clip for extra storage. The pull down button smoothly lifts all the cards at once and fans them out so each card is visible and easy to grab. I was unsure how this mechanism would work at first, but the cards are slightly staggered just enough to clearly see each one. You simply grab the card you want and push the stack back down into the wallet. We chose the carbon black version and it is sleek, lightweight, and looks very sharp. My husband mentioned it needs a little breaking in due to the quality construction, but it is still easy to access everything he needs and stays compact, which was most important to him. It also comes in a very nice black gift box with fitted foam that securely holds the wallet, making it perfect for gifting or safe storage before use. I highly recommend this wallet. For the price, it cannot be beaten. I searched extensively for the best option at a fair price point, and this one easily compares to wallets that cost close to or even over $100.

Almost Perfect - Compact, Strong Magnet, Minor Card Access Issue
Color: Alaska Black, Style: Standard Wallet, Color: Alaska Black, Style: Standard Wallet
This is hands down the best wallet I’ve ever had. I love how compact it is while still holding quite a bit. On the front, it holds two cards, although I find the thumb slot a little short — it doesn’t extend the second card enough, so you have to dig a bit to get it out. The inside card holder (the non-window one) is also a bit tight. The magnet that holds the bifold together is very strong. The first section of the wallet (the bifold) holds three cards — two outside with the thumb groove and one inside. I have metal cards in all three slots, so it adds a little extra weight, but the magnet still holds firmly and stays aligned. The main section has a window for IDs. I keep two IDs and my insurance card there, and even with it being packed, the magnet still holds strong. One small downside: the window isn’t deep enough to fully show my ID, cutting off the date of birth at the bottom. I have to push my license up a bit, which looks a little goofy, but since I rarely need my ID, it’s not a big issue. When I do need it, I can at least show it without taking it out. The main compartment easily holds 6–8 cards. I’m currently maxed out at 7 cards, including 2 metal ones, and they all have flat surfaces. The push-up button slides smoothly even with the extra weight, and all the cards pop up as they should. The money clip is very secure too. I haven’t fully tested its limits, but it held a single bill in place without any issues, and right now I have 10 folded bills in there with no problem. Overall: I love this wallet. It’s compact, easy to access, and for the most part, the cards are very easy to grab.

Worth the expensive price tag!
Color: Brown, Style: Wallet With Airtag Pocket
Was skeptical at first thinking it will be like other same products and will under deliver, costly but worth the spend. Leather looks premium, no loose buttons and can easily hold 15 cards along with some money clips. Totally sold on this product. If you want quality product and don’t care about the price just get this one. Magnet is also strong inspite of filling it to the brim
