Wild Birds Unlimited

WBU carries a variety of different squirrel proof feeders and other solutions for the pesky critters. Hot seed products are an option, but you must make sure they cannot become air borne and get in the birds eyes. While they cannot taste the capsaicin, it does hurt their eyes when the push the seed around and make it airborne. We also carry squirrel goodies and feeders to entice them to leave your precious bird seed alone. 😁

It is open to the public. Hope to see you there!

lol, I think this is a question for Mr. Fookwire!

Twitchers is a British term for obsessive birdwatchers if I'm not mistaken. Take it as a compliment.

Hi Givelt. Not sure why your guide says not blue, but they are definitely close to a blue color. And they are definitely millet eaters. Almost exclusively millet eaters. Enjoy em while they're here for the season.

It could have been the time of day you were watching for them or some sort of incoming weather that kept them at bay for a while. Also check the freshness of your seed. It does start to go bad this time of year with slower activity. And if it gets wet it is even worse for your freshness.

Mockingbird tend to be very territorial. They're one of the few you'll see that can ward off a Hawk. They're also very aggressive when they have an active nest in the area.

Molting is just a natural process Birds go through as they replace their old coat of feathers with new ones. They're not in trouble and need no help getting through this stage. And gluing feathers to any bird (or wild animal for that matter) would be harmful to say the least.

Hi Givelt. Red shouldered hawks need no food from us, as they are just fine without our interference. They prey on small mice and rodents in our neighborhoods. They certainly are magnificent to watch and hear as they soar above that's for sure.

I don't believe so. It's a fantastic place to buy all things for birds. The owner and employees are super knowledgeable. Go check them out.

Mask and social distancing required. Pickup can also be arranged.

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 Kelly. We actually don’t sell anything pertaining to domestic/exotic caged birds. We specialize in foods and supplies for feeding wild birds in your backyard (cardinals, blue jays, etc). Thanks!
