The black oil see= ds (=93oilers=94) have very thin shells, easy for virtually all seed-eating= birds to crack open, and the kernels within have a high fat content, extre= mely valuable for most winter birds. Striped sunflower seeds have a thicker= shell, much harder for House Sparrows and blackbirds to crack open.
