Morning Song Sunflower Hearts & Chips Wild Bird Food, No Mess Sunflower Seeds for Birds, 5.5-Pound Bag

There is a kind of peace that settles over a garden when birds arrive—not in flocks, but in pairs and singles, like old friends stopping by for tea. They do not knock, nor do they announce themselves. They simply appear, drawn by something unseen, and in their arrival, the world feels momentarily more complete.That peace has become a daily rhythm since I began placing Morning Song Sunflower Hearts & Chips in the feeder. The seeds—clean, golden, and shell-free—rest like small offerings in the tray, waiting for the morning light and the flutter of wings. There is no mess, no scattered husks to sweep away. Only the soft sound of beaks tapping and the occasional chirp of satisfaction.The bag itself is generous, yet manageable. At 5.5 pounds, it fits easily into my storage tin, and the seeds remain fresh with each refill. I’ve noticed a variety of visitors—chickadees, finches, titmice, and even the occasional cardinal—each drawn not by novelty, but by something familiar and nourishing. They linger longer now, as if the food speaks to them in a language older than hunger.There is something quietly noble about feeding birds. It asks for no recognition, offers no reward beyond the joy of watching life unfold just beyond the windowpane. And in that simplicity, I’ve found a kind of companionship. The birds do not know my name, nor I theirs, but we share something—a trust, perhaps, or a mutual appreciation for the morning.The seeds themselves are chipped and shelled, a thoughtful preparation that spares the birds effort and spares me cleanup. It’s a small detail, but one that speaks of care. And though the label says “no mess,” what it truly offers is clarity—a feeding space that remains as tidy as the intentions behind it.Each day, I refill the feeder. Each day, they return. And in that quiet exchange, I’ve come to cherish the stillness between wingbeats, the hush of seed and sky, and the gentle reminder that joy often arrives in the smallest of packages.

I couldn’t be happier with this birdseed. It’s an absolute hit with the birds in my area—finches, woodpeckers, cardinals, sparrows, and more flock to my feeder daily. There’s no waste, no messy shells, and every last bit gets eaten, which keeps the feeding area clean.The feeder empties out quickly, proving just how much the birds love it. I’ve also experimented by adding nuts and dried fruit to create my own mix. But even on its own, this seed attracts a wide variety of birds. The quality is excellent, and I appreciate that I’m not paying for filler ingredients. Highly recommend!

The local birds absolutely love these sunflower chips. It says no-mess but actually most of the birds will leave the skin of the hearts/chips and so I get a lot of leftovers. That's ok as I then spread this in the garden. If I leave a pile of it squirrels or opossums will come and feast on them, so eventually there is no waste.

We absolutely love this product. Weve been using it for many years. Our birds love it, and we enjoy watching them eat. Its always fresh. Will continue buying it.

Birds love it and there is no waste.

Good seed. Bird approved. I have House Finches, White Crowned Sparrows, Gold Finches, House Sparrows, and even Nuthatches and Black Phoebes that anxiously await the moment that I put more out each morning. I have repurchased this many times and my only complaint would be this most recent time I received the delivery and the package was partially torn resulting in seed spilled out inside the delivery box.

I have been buying these seeds for about a year now. I love that there is no mess left behind! Sicnr I started using this I have so many new birds beautiful little birds I’ve never seen such colorful birds and they sing for us every day.Since I switched to the clean version, I no longer deal with ants I recommend unshelled 100%!

I was a little worried about this as I’m moving from a nut-based diet to a seed-based diet for the local bird population to accommodate a friend’s allergy. I have a window feeder in a Brooklyn apartment in the kitchen where I work all day. I knew the morning doves would love the change. The nuts are a little big for them so they always look like they’re about to choke on one. This is far more comfortable for them, and therefore far more popular. I’ve gotten an impressive increase in the dove population since I switched. But they just hang around in the feeder not minding the local humans. They’re New York birds. I wasn’t sure the smaller, more skittish birds like the sparrows, titmice, cardinals, and blue jays (granted, blue jays aren’t smaller, but they fit in the skittish population for this) would take to it. They liked the larger peanuts as a quick grab and go treat. Turns out they will grab and go just as readily with a sunflower heart, but they like these seeds so much the titmice and the sparrows will sometimes just hang out and eat right in the feeder. The bluejays are still on the fence about that. The occasional crow will still pop by for a quick treat as well. All in all, the birds seem perfectly happy with these. I’ve even gotten the attention of the occasional woodpecker, who seems to find them tasty.I love that these are shell free and do not make a mess. The less clean up work, the better. I don’t need to remove uneaten seeds at the end of the day, because there are none. I put in a plastic cup full first thing in the morning and the last few are picked clean just before sunset. I’ll likely need to put out more in the summer, as the birds will eat until the sun goes down.About the only thing I would like to see different is that the bag doesn’t reseal. Everything else is perfect. Overall, I’d say these make the birds happy, which makes me happy.
