Hello, fellow birdfeeders, I was just wondering can I leave sunflower seeds in my trunk even if it gets too hot? Do I need to consider heat for sunflower seeds?

Thanks.
 
For how long? And are they shelled (no shells)?
 
You need to consider whether the heat will turn the seed oils rancid and whether mold will start to grow. Any chance you can put them in a cooler with ice?

Agreed. In 12 hrs of real heat, the oils will start turning rancid. They wont mold yet but they will if stored for long.

@slavablueberryjam Can you park in the shade and leave the trunk partially open? Is this at home?
 
I quit feeding the birds in the summertime. They have plenty to eat. But during the winter months I will put some seed out especially during a blanket of snow.

Couldn't tell around here. I feed them on and off, and when I do it's like a mob at the feeders. Little pigs wipe it out in no time.
They don't let up until it's exhausted. Easy pickins is easy pickins I suppose.

You said it yourself...easy pickens'. Wildlife isnt going to work harder for meals if they feel safe.

Yeah I know.. I like to watch the birds, but damn, if I kept feed in there, I'd burn a 25 lb bag with quickness!
And those little ******* Finches! Slinging half to the ground to get what they want! Yeah, you're not paying for it... :mad: 😂

I need to finally get around to fashioning a catch to put underneath.

If you care enough to buy feed, why not just bring it to a cooler place instead of asking a question that makes very little sense?
Is this suppose to have some entertaining value?

Carry on.

What I've tried to make sense of, but.. 🤷‍♂️
Just know 12 hours in the trunk.
This might be some black market, cross state-line seed running operation! :oops:
