It produces black oil seeds that are a favorite of turkeys, quail, deer, ducks and wild birds. It is a good variety to sow by the acre for migratory birds to feed upon, as it contains nutritious oil and calories. When compared to striped sunflower seeds, black oil sunflower seeds are meatier and have a higher oil content, giving birds more nutrition and calories in every bite. Black oil seeds also have thinner shells, making them easier for small birds to crack. Wild animals love the taste of this sunflower. Left to stand into fall and winter, the residue can provide a wildlife shelter for many months.
