    Hi,

    Can Sunflower seed be fed to wild birds just as it comes off the plant, or does it have to be dried first? :scratch::scratch::scratch:

    If you leave the Flower Head in place they will use it as a "Self Service" cafe.
    Therefore if you want to provide a "Silver Service" option there should be no problem taking them off before serving.
    Don't forget the serviettes!!
