Wild Birds Unlimited

Whose tree is it? If it is yours, you can contact the city if the neighbor is threatening action. If it is in a parkway that is maintianed by the city, then again, they would be the right agency to call. If the tree belowngs to your neighbor, and if he/she is willing to talk, try to educate the person about the importance of protecting habitat. Keep in mind that if the tree is really old or appears to be diseased, it can be a threat to public safety. In that case, whoever is responsible for the tree may have to take it down (expensive). In this latter case, an certified arborist should inspect the tree. And so on. Many options/possibilities here. Good luck, keep me posted. Bob Wild Birds Unlimited

Do you sell feeder poles??

Here are a few options: Set up a window feeder, it will keep the birds safe from striking the window and provide close views of them feeding. If your feeding station is in the direct vicinity of a window, move it to within three feet of the window. Install window screens. Decals and stained-glass decorations are moderately successful. Hanging vertical exterior tape stripes across the window at 4 inches (10 cm) intervals.

After installing a new feeder it can take a day or a number of weeks before the birds will readily take to it even if it replaces an existing feeder. Patience is key when birds are getting used to a new feeder. Birds generally find their food by sight. Placing your feeder where it will be visible to them should decrease the time it takes for birds to start feeding. Sprinkling some food on the ground or on top of the feeder can help, too.

The best thing to do if you find a baby bird is to leave it alone. If the bird appears as though it has fallen from a nest, an attempt to locate the nest can be made, and the bird can be carefully returned. If the bird has feathers, it may be a fledged bird and a parent bird is probably close by. It is best to watch the bird from a distance to see if a parent returns after an hour or so before determining that the bird needs human help.

We don't sell birds. We sell backyard bird feeding supplies including seed, feeders, and bird baths.

We are not a pet shop. Our products are all for wild birds in the back yard, and are not advised for pet birds.

We only sell private labeled blends that contain no grain fillers--only seeds we know the birds will eat. In addition, we have a wide variety of straight seed. Please visit our online store at MyWBU.com/torrance for more information. Thanks for the inquiry.
