After they done blooming and harvested you can eat the seed or use them to feed other birds especially cardinals and any bird in the finch family.
Only problem is they are a squirrel magnet.
The Mongolian Giant Sunflower is one of the tallest sunflowers in existence! These massive blooms will grow from 12'-14' tall with huge 16"-18" heads that are full of Seeds. The Mongolian Giant produces the longest seed of any variety, measuring 1-1/2" long, and makes a delicious snack when roasted. Because of their so

We are seeing more and more everyday now. Both feeders are picking up activity for sure. I shot this video and downloaded to YouTube earlier. Up to around 15 birds now between both feeders.
Sorry for the crappy video shooting through the window.
It's fun to watch these birds. They are replacing our entertainment since the purple martins have now all gone.

Lot's in Shiner and we love having them each year. They are driving me crazy this year as I find they are flying in boat barn of my barndo and unlike Pop's shops and barn...they for most part cannot for the life of them find their way back out if they come in. We have lost 3 thus far due to this and I left two in shop yesterday when I locked up (got 3 out).Proud member since 1999
