*Please note that due to its size, it is not possible to ship this item. Online orders containing this item must be picked up at the centre.

Safflower is a hard white seed the size of a sunflower seed. It is enjoyed by cardinals, grosbeaks, doves and many other species. Squirrels and blackbirds seem to avoid it. Its shell gives it a longer shelf life. 

Food safety

To prevent food poisoning in birds please remember to:
- Store seeds in a dry cool location such as a garage or a basement. Do not store seeds outside.
- Do not use seeds that are too old. Depending on the seeds, shelf life varies from a few months to a year.
- Do not leave seeds in a feeder for more than 2 weeks.
- Toss seeds that are wet, spoiled or moldy.
