English is hard enough for me. Abbreviations are often too tough to learn too.
Who knows, maybe I remember next time.

For newcomers it will always be hard to understand the unofficial / poultry related, abbreviations that so many on BYC use bc its faster to type.

It took me a while to clue in to what the abbreviation was, too. But I loved your interpretation of it!

Over the years, I've definitely had a boss or two who belonged in bags - and at least one who couldn't find their way out of a paper one!
But no, as others have said, that's Black Oil Sunflower Seeds. They're awfully expensive around here. Is the high cost universal?

I got this 40lb bag for about $30 Canadian.

$30 US would get me half that, here, so they're a rare treat for my birds. Luckily, I have a farmer in the family who occasionally buys in bulk, so I get to "opt-in." It's not often, but enough that it helps.

Sunflower seeds are in the grain mix I buy for my chickens. I don’t buy extra sunflower seeds. The price is € 2,10 /kg
1 lb = 0,45359237 kilogram

Those we are talking about are the black ones, without a stripe. They contain more oik and the shell is actually thinner and close to the seed.

I haven't bought any in a very long time I guess. Black Oiler Sunflower Seeds were $20 USD for 50# on sale.
