I love this place. I found a chili pepper bird seed column and we've bought 2, now. No more seed casings or squirrels. It's very incognito, too, which we need because we aren't supposed to feed the birds 😊

Fun shop to explore. I found the perfect squirrel proof bird feeder there. Nice helpful staff too. Much more fun than cruising online for bird stuff.🙂

If you want to attract more birds to your yard, this is the place to come. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful. They will help you pick out the perfect setup for your yard, whether it be a bird feeder, food, bird house, and/or birdbath. They know a lot about birding in wild places, too.

We do. We currently have one pair in stock.
Try offering them their own feeding station with their favorite foods like corn or nuts. Use a squirrel-proof bird feeder, like the Eliminator. Place a baffle on your feeder pole. Use dome baffles above bird feeders. Try an OnGuard™ wire mesh cage around your existing feeders to keep squirrels from reaching the food. Fill your bird feeders with safflower seeds, many songbirds will eat safflower, but squirrels typically won't.
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.
Hi. Thank you for contacting us. Yes, we do have a few different kinds of foods that squirrels do not enjoy. We also have a variety of other solutions to keep squirrels away from the bird feeders. We would be happy to show you all of these options next time you are in our store.
Hi Bill, If you are interested in building a nest box (where birds lay their eggs and raise their chicks) I suggest you try a wren box. Plans can be found on the internet for "House Wren" or "Bewick's Wren" boxes. These wrens are common in our area and readily use nest boxes in the spring. It may be a little too late this season for them to use one. If you are, instead, talking about building a bird FEEDER, I suggest building something designed to hold Sunflower seeds, either in the shell or out of the shell. Most of the seed-eating birds in Southern California love black-oil sunflower. I hope this helps you. Richard
No, sorry. We have everything you need to feed the wild birds outside.
