What kind of seed are these?

Does anyone know what these white seeds are? They look kind of like sunflower seeds but they aren’t? One of my pigeons loves them so I’d like to buy just them as a treat since she goes crazy for them instead of the peanut treats I bought them. I’ve been cherry picking them out of their feed just to spoil her. Lol

I grow multiple varieties of sunflower seeds and some are white like that.

They are safflower. I high fat seed.

Try cutting up the peanuts some so the pigeons try them some more. Once they taste them, they will love them!

Thank you! I bought peanuts in the shell so have been shelling them and then crushing them as a treat! Who knew I would go to such lengths to spoil my pigeons. They were supposed to be my husband and son’s quarantine project and I ended up loving them even more! Adding the safflower seeds to my next chewy.com order!

I’d like to grow them too! We do sunflowers sometimes too.
